Water Hammer
Water Hammer
(OP)
I'm interested to find out more about hydraulic system shock absorbers.
We have been performing some tests on a system that is subject to water hammer... by adding a bladder accumulator locally to the nucleus of the induced water hammer we can mitigate it's effects well... however, the limiting factor now appears to be the entry hole into the accumulator... if I can find a large entry hole unit, the inrush in/out flow will not be throttled as much. Actual size required is in the region of 2L capacity
Suggestions welcome.

10mm...50mm...100mm?
For low pressure systems, you can make your own piston accumulator. Then apply whichever hole suits best.

Was wondering if there was large entry, small capacity accumulators.
