Hydac FPU-1 Operating Manual

1. Description
1.1. Function
the HYDAc charging and testing unit
FPu-1 is used to charge accumulators with
nitrogen or to check or to change the
existing pre-charge pressure in
accumulators.
For this purpose the charging and testing
unit is screwed onto the gas valve of the
hydraulic accumulator and connected via a
hose to a commercial nitrogen bottle.
if the nitrogen pressure is only to be
checked or reduced, the charging hose
does not need to be connected. the unit
has a screw-type fitting with a built-in
gauge, check valve and a spindle for
opening the accumulator gas valve to
control the pressure.
HYDAc piston and diaphragm
accumulators can be charged and checked
without the need for adapters. Bladder
accumulators, however, require an A3
adapter.
