Abstract
This paper denouements the study of operating parameters of a hydraulic transmission system with and without the
application of hydraulic accumulator. In this respect, the hydraulic system, designed in the open circuit mode,
consists of the fixed displacement hydraulic pump which gives pressured fluid to the hydro-motor and charges the
accumulator as well. The load on the motor is controlled hydraulically by coupling the motor with the loading pump,
which discharges the fluid through the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV). The pressure decay of the accumulator in the
hydraulic system has been analysed and the parameters affecting the pressure decay has been sorted out. The effect
of pressure damping in the hydraulic system has also been investigated for different sizes of accumulators under
different loading conditions. The proposed hydraulic system is modelled using MATLAB-SimHydraulics software.
The study concludes with the identification of some major operating parameters which affects the performance of
the Bladder type Accumulator.
