Surge Protector / Buffer Between regulator and valves
Surge Protector / Buffer Between regulator and valves
(OP)
I'm trying to size a fluid buffer or surge protector for a small hard piped manifold which has a 1500psi output regulator and a number of small valves.
We've experienced (in the past) regulator jacking (rapid open/close cycle) when there isn't enough fluid capacitance in the circuit between the source (regulator) and the operator.
I could simply put in the largest bladder accumulator that would fit, but I'd like to be more discerning. Is there a rule of thumb or simple calculation to put me in the ballpark?

I don't know of any sizing rules.
