CE User Manual
1. Scope
This manual to CE concerns gas-loaded accumulators
according to PED 2014/68/EU. It is also valid for
accumulators under 4.3 article from PED 2014/68/EU.
2. General
This equipment is designed, manufactured and tested in
compliance with European Directive PED 2014/68/EU.
It is essential to carefully follow the instructions given
in this document and in the specific instruction sheets
when these are available and are relevant. The supplier
waives all responsibility for direct or indirect material
damage or human injury resulting from the non-
compliance with the instructions set out below, as
well as for consequences such as, for example,
operating losses.
Before start up and during operation, the operator must
take into account the regulations relating to hydraulic
accumulators applicable on the installation site. The
operator is entirely responsible for the compliance with
the existing regulations, and must carefully retain the
documents supplied with the apparatus throughout
its service life. These may be requested at the time of
inspection.
3. Safety Devices
Current site regulations require the use of all or some of
the following safety devices:
•
Overpressure protection device
•
Decompression device
•
Pressure Gauge
•
Pressure Gauge connector
•
Isolator
The operator is required to comply with these regulations.
Parker units use all or some of these devices (supplied as
optional extras) (DI, SBA, ECA, ECSA...).
4. Handling - Storage
The original packing is suitable for handling and storing
the equipment, unless otherwise specified.
4.1 Handling
Handle with care !
Provide lifting gear that is suitable for the weight of the
accumulator. The inflation valve must not be subjected to
any impact, however slight.
4.2 Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not expose to flames or
heat. It is recommended that accumulators be stored in a
horizontal position.
When storing accumulators in their original packaging,
do not stack them, unless their volume is less than 4 litres
(maximum 2 tiers).
CE User Manual
Accumulators
If the accumulators are to be stored for more than 5 years, all
parts made of elastomeric material must be replaced before
they are put into service (contact Parker or an approved
Parker agent).
If they are to be stored for a period of 5 years or less, this
period should be borne in mind when determining the
dates of the first maintenance operations (see Section 7).
If the accumulators (bladder and diaphragm) are to be
stored for more than 6 months, precharge must be reduced
storage pressure (see Section 6.1.1).
Also refer to the Parker storage instructions.
5. Accumulator Labelling and Marking
It is strictly forbidden to change any information and
markings without the prior written agreement of Parker.
In case of inconsistency between the information
provided on the manufacturer's nameplate and on other
accumulator parts (shell, opening, etc.), always refer to the
manufacturer's name plate.
The following information is indicated on the accumulator:
•
Parker and/or Olaer logo
•
Product designation
•
Manufacturing date
•
Reference of the accumulator
•
Allowable temperature range
of the accumulator (TS) in °C
•
Maximal allowable pressure PS in bar
•
Fluid group (1 or 2) Acc. to new classification (EC)
regulation CLP 1272/2008
•
Nominal volume of vessel V in litres
•
Test pressure PT in bar
•
Test date
Certain models:
•
Warning messages and safety instructions ("Danger" ,
"Use nitrogen only" , etc. or similar)
•
Maximum inflation pressure P0 Max in bar
•
Allowable pressure amplitude ΔP Max in bar
•
Total dry mass in kilogram
•
When it is applicable:
- CE logo
- The notified body's identification number.
6. Commissioning
The equipment must only be commissioned by qualified
technicians (contact Parker or an approved Parker agent).
Before installation, visually check that the accumulator
is not damaged. Care should be observed to prevent
damage to the painting (which is the protection against the
corrosion) or any option during unpacking.
