What Problems Will Occur If the Car Accumulator Fails?
1 Answers
Problems that may occur if the car accumulator fails: 1. Nitrogen diaphragm damage: Damage to the nitrogen diaphragm often makes it difficult for the accumulator to perform its buffering and vibration-damping functions. When inspecting the accumulator, you can gently press the test pin on the inspection valve. If it can be pressed down easily, it indicates there is no nitrogen, most likely due to diaphragm damage. The solution is to replace the diaphragm and apply silicone grease around the edges for sealing. 2. O-ring seal damage: Since O-ring seals are generally made of rubber, they are prone to aging and failure after prolonged use. This can result in a rapid drop in nitrogen pressure or oil leakage at the seal. In this case, simply replacing the seal and tightening the inspection valve nut can resolve the issue. 3. Inlet valve damage: Before using the accumulator, the inlet valve nut must be loosened each time nitrogen is filled. Over time, this may cause damage to the inlet valve, leading to slow or failed inflation. The solution is to replace the inlet valve nut. 4. Accumulator cracks: If the accumulator frequently operates under harsh conditions, it may develop surface cracks, leading to oil or gas leakage. If the cracks are small, special glue can be used to seal them. For large cracks, professional repair is required.
