EPE (BS-20-E-B-360-A-7-G-6-C-P-240C) Standard Accumulator Safety Block

The EPE range of safety blocks BS is available in sizes NG10, NG20, NG25 and NG32. The safety blocks BS combine all the features to protect, isolate and discharge a hydraulic accumulator. The shut-off valve rotates of 90 degrees to instantly isolate the accumulator from the hydraulic system in emergency conditions or for maintenance. Once isolated, the accumulator can be discharged into a tank through a discharging valve with manual or electric controls. In version BS10 and BS20 when switching over the ball valve, the pump flow rate is stopped and simultaneously the accumulator discharged to the tank. During switching all three ports (P, A and T) are momentarily interconnected (negative switching overlap). Ball valves are not designed to be used as flow control valves; therefore they should always be either fully open or fully closed, to avoid damaging the sealing cups. The system security is ensured by a pressure PED an anti-tempering pressure valve certified CE/PED. The safety blocks BS allow easy and secure connection of an accumulator to a hydraulic system. Suitable for use with all types of bladder, piston and diaphragm accumulators, the compact and multi function design allows saving space and reducing the wiring.
