What is a Bladder Accumulator?

Accumulators play an essential role in the operation and performance of wind turbines, storing hydraulic energy specifically for blade braking and pitch control functions. One of the many kinds of hydraulic accumulators out there are Bladder Accumulators. As its name suggests, bladder accumulators consist of a rubber bladder in the pressure vessel that separates the hydraulic fluid from the compressed gas. Bladder-style accumulators are a popular choice to use within wind turbines because of their universal application, durability, and cost-effectiveness, to name a few.

Like all accumulators on the market, bladder accumulators require regular maintenance to regulate the proper nitrogen pre-charge levels. This is because the material that is used has a large surface that is gas-permeable and can lose nitrogen through the bladder’s surface. While this is a simple repair, this is where those see an advantage of utilizing a piston accumulator. With the reduced surface area of the seals, the piston can hold the nitrogen pre-charge much longer than the bladder-style, not costing the time and money to spend recharging the nitrogen.

Whether you decide to utilize a bladder, piston, diaphragm, or other type of accumulator for your wind turbine, choosing a reputable supplier is vital to get the life, quality, and reliability out of your parts.

Where to Buy Quality Bladder Accumulators?

Sourcing high-quality accumulators from a reputable and trustworthy supplier should always be your top priority. Parker, a global leader in control and motion technologies, offers a range of hydraulic accumulator models that deliver precise regulation designed to regulate the performance of bespoke hydraulic systems.

Parker’s bladder replacement kits have a list of unique features specifically for the wind industry to ensure a long life, low nitrogen gas permeation, and a wide operating temperature range.

Here is a short list of some of the accumulators and repair kits you might find for your model Wind Turbine:

Accumulator & Wind Turbine Maintenance

A wind turbine is only as good as its parts and maintenance. If you operate or service a Wind Turbine facility, over time, there will be a need to replace or repair certain hydraulic systems with new, high-quality parts. Additionally, if your wind turbine utilizes bladder-style accumulators, it will need regular maintenance whether it’s refilling the nitrogen pre-charge levels, repair, or replacement. Servicing your accumulator and maintaining the proper nitrogen pre-charge is essential to the wind turbine’s performance, sourcing the right parts and working with the right distributor.

Are your accumulators living up to their life expectancy or failing prematurely?

Diaphragm style accumulators are not repairable. This is why some wind turbine operators have switched to bladder accumulators. An option to diaphragm style accumulators are piston style accumulators. These come in both repairable and non-repairable versions with multiple compounds to meet lower temperature requirements. There are AMSE versions for the US market and CE for most of the rest of the world. Parker has been making quality accumulators for wind turbines for many years, but turbines come from all over the world in varying designs and quality. The OEM accumulators may not be giving you the life expectancy that is desired. The advantages of changing to a piston accumulator is a higher life expectancy and reduced risk of premature failure.

Where and how are you using accumlators?

The two main systems that use accumulators are blade braking and pitch control. Both applications use the accumulators to store hydraulic energy for use in case of loss of control pressure or hold a pressure without the need for additional power.

The issue with using a diaphragm accumulator is the failure mode, which is often catastrophic with no warning signs. The diaphragm usually tears. Once this device fails there is an immediate loss of control because the hydraulic pressure dissipates, and the system will no longer work. This could cause the wind turbine to run away and cause significant damage.

Do you need replacement or upgraded wind turbine parts?

If you have diaphragm or bladder style accumulators, you will need regular maintenance to maintain the nitrogen pre-charge. This is because the material used has a large surface that is gas permeable and can lose the nitrogen thru the diaphragm or bladder surface. This is where the advantage of the piston accumulator really shines. As the surface area of the seals is greatly reduced, sometimes as much as 15 times less, and therefore can hold a pre-charge much longer than the other styles of accumulator. As you can see in similar volume accumulators, diaphragm on the left and piston on the right, the seal surface is far smaller with the piston accumulators.

Although the piston accumulators cost more, the savings is usually worth the time the maintenance personnel have to spend recharging the nitrogen. If there is a full failure of the diaphragm, then for sure you would have wished you would have switched to a piston accumulator no matter what the fractional cost would have been for a better product with non-catastrophic failure modes.

I would also like to add that Parker put out a fantastic White Paper titled “Improve Wind Turbine Safety with a Piston Accumulator that delves further into why a change from a Diaphragm to a Piston style accumulator might be a good idea for both blade braking and pitch control. You can check that out here.

Whether you choose a repairable or a non-repairable piston accumulator, you will be improving safety and the life span of your wind turbine.
