Carbon Weight Accumulators
LIGHTEST TANKS FOR THE PRICE
Lightning Hybrids Inc. is dedicated to providing enhanced hydraulic system performance and efficiency without compromising safety and reliability.Our high pressure composite bladder accumulators for hydraulic and other energy storage applications are one-third the weight of standard steel accumulators and have the following benefits:

  • Energy savings due to significant weight reduction
  • Increased safety:
    • Burst tested to a safety factor greater than 3.4 times operating pressure
    • Inherent leak-before-burst fatigue failure mode
    • Safety shut-off valve
  • Lighter accumulators are less expensive to ship and install since weight and mounting hardware is minimized
  • Larger accumulators may be used to replace multiple smaller accumulators
  • Similar pricing to steel accumulators with same specifications
Smart tank options:
  • Rotomolded lining increases safety and triples shell life
  • Temperature sensors bonded to aluminum shell
  • Strain gauges monitor pressure cycles and spikes
  • Communication over CAN/WiFi/Bluetooth/other
