The accumulator dimensioning method is based on the At constant temperature and isothermal state change:
status change of the gas contained in the accumulator.
The same changes occur with oil.

The state of a gas is defined by three factors: pressure, The following rule governs this relationship:

A state change refers to the change of two or all state c with χ = adiabatic
variables. Filling or emptying a hydraulic accumulator leads exponent
to an exchange of work at accumulator gas level. A gas
temperature differing from the ambient temperature leads
to a thermal exchange. Processes affecting the accumula-

For all accumulator dimensioning calculations absolute pressures (relative pressures + 1 bar) will be used.
The temperatures T1 and T2 are in ° Kelvin (T + 273).
The gas filling pressure is always set for the maximum ope-
rating temperature (T2). Gas filling is usually carried out at a
temperature of 20 °C. All indications concerning gas filling
pressures issued by OLAER apply for 20 °C.
