Accumulators

 

Accumulators are a device used to store energy and release energy just like a power bank, you charge it and store the electrical energy and release it when you need to charge your phone. Accumulators can store thermal energy, electricity, and mechanical energy. They are used in the hydraulic system of the ships to deliver the hydraulic liquids to a wellhead blowout preventer, subsea control systems and subsea trees. https://reelpowerme.com/  has developed its patented version of an accumulator called the DCB accumulators which means depth compensated accumulators. This accumulator is also used to actuate the shear rams on the BOP stack subsea.

 Why are DCB accumulators best?

 The patented formula of this accumulator uses the pressure produced from the ocean's water column to enhance the hydraulic pressure in the equipment of the ship which will automatically reduce the number of accumulator bottles on the subsea system. Through this, the reduced number can be taken down to 90%. This new technology provides a static volume of output even if there is a change in the sea temperature and depth. The output volume is stable and can be predicted anytime. They perform the same on the subsea as they do on the surface. Simple accumulators provide lower volume at the subsea level but BCB accumulators perform the same. Sometimes the volume output of simple accumulators drops by 85% at the subsea level.

 Specifications of DCB Accumulators.

 Currently Available Standard Sizes: 7.9 to 28 gallons

Other sizes can also be availed.

They are 5000 psi rated and other pressure types are also available.

●        Advantages of DCB accumulators

●         

●        They are best to use in subsea level

●        They provide the same volume output at surface level

●        They use the pressure of ocean water pressure to boost the hydraulic pressure.

●        They are cost-effective.

●        Reduce the weight of BOP and subsea systems.

●        Fewer accumulators means more space on subsea level

●        Reduced maintenance cost

●        It Improves Stack equipment access

●        Most efficient subsea accumulator

●        Maintains performance regardless of depth

●        Proven design with a high installation base

They are one of the best accumulators you can find with so many benefits. It is patented technology and can only be bought through https://reelpowerme.com/ . If you want to reduce the number of accumulators on your ship and want the same output volume as at surface level then go for DCB accumulators.
