Nitorgen Boost on Hydraulic Oil free surface
(OP)
Does anybody have examples of a boosted hydraulic system that uses nitrogen applied directly onto the free surface of the oil within the reservoir? the boost is between 3-8bar.

The are also lots of free contact accumulators in the market.

Does gas entrainment not have an impact on system stiffness and reponse? Are we presuming the surface is relatively still?

As long as the surface tension of the oil is not disrupted too much, the oil does not absorb N2.
Rather like a carbonated drink that releases carbon dioxide and fizzes when disturbed, the oil will absorb the gas if it is shaken up.
