  • Patent number: 12241482
    Abstract: A piston accumulator has an accumulator housing and a separating piston (8) guided for longitudinal motion in the accumulator housing. The separating piston separates a liquid side (4) from a gas side (10) in the accumulator housing. Liquid unintentionally transitions from the liquid side (4) to the gas side (10) despite a piston seal on the separating piston (8). By a return device (28), the transitioned liquid is at least partially returned from the gas side (10) of the accumulator housing to the liquid side (4) of the accumulator housing.

  • Publication number: 20250003428
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a piston accumulator, having an accumulator housing, in which a separating piston is longitudinally movably guided, that separates two fluid chambers from one another and which separating piston has a damping piston with a check valve, which damping piston can be introduced into a fluid connection in the accumulator housing to form a throttle gap. The throttle gap is a cylindrical annular chamber, formed from the adjacent wall parts of the accumulator housing and the damping piston. The check valve has a valve ball which is acted upon by an energy accumulator and which, in a closed position, blocks a fluid path between the fluid connection and a piston fluid chamber between the separating piston and the accumulator housing and, in its open position, opens said fluid path.
