An annular tube (or other shape) of elastomeric cellular material comprising elastomeric closed cells having gas infused therein is supported by structures protruding from the bottom surface of a suction stabilizer's head and/or by structures within the interior volume of the annular body of the suction stabilizer, preferably with spacing between the outer diameter of the annular tube of the cellular material and the inner walls of the suction stabilizer body. The gas-infused closed cell material may thus be employed in new suction stabilizer or pulsation dampener or to retrofit existing suction stabilizers or pulsation dampeners designed for a gas-filled bladder.

A hydraulic device includes a housing and a closure element arranged thereon. The closure element is connected to the housing by torsional welding.

An accumulator includes a pressure vessel including a first section and a second section joined to each other via a joint portion and a partition portion separating an interior space of the pressure vessel into a liquid chamber and a gas chamber so that a volume ratio between the liquid chamber and the gas chamber in the pressure vessel is variable. The first section includes a thread portion for fastening the accumulator to a support member. The second section includes an abutting portion disposed opposite to the thread portion across the joint portion in an axial direction of the thread portion and configured to abut on the support member when the accumulator is fastened to the support member.

A bellows accumulator, consisting of at least two housing parts (4, 6) which form an accumulator housing (2), and having a separating bellows (20), which is movably arranged in the accumulator housing (2) and separates two media spaces (8, 22) from each other and is at least on its one free end fixed to a securing device (24) in the accumulator housing (2), wherein said securing device (24) is welded to the adjacently arranged housing parts (4, 6), is characterized in that the adjacently arranged housing parts (4, 6) comprise at least in part titanium materials, in that the securing device (24) consists of at least two interconnected components (26, 30), at least one (26) of which comprises at least in part titanium materials and is welded to the adjacently arranged housing parts (4, 6), and in that the respective other component (30), consisting of a different metal material, is used for securing the separating bellows (20) to the securing device (24).

A hydraulic lifting device for a chassis of a mobile device has a valve block, a pump, a tank, a first cylinder device and a second cylinder device. The first cylinder device and the second cylinder device can be selectively pressurized by the pump or connected to tank via the valve block. The first cylinder device is connected to the pump via at least one primary non-return valve disposed in the valve block. The second cylinder device is connected to the pump via at least one secondary non-return valve disposed in the valve block. The valve block has at least one pressure accumulator downstream of the at least one secondary non-return valve in the flow direction from the pump to the second cylinder device. Furthermore, a chassis with such a lifting device and to a mobile device with a chassis is provided.

Examples described herein relate to compact and replaceable accumulator to be utilized in a chassis-level cooling device. The accumulator is a low pressurized device having a housing, a bladder, and a compressible fluid. The housing has an inner surface defining a volume and an opening. The bladder is disposed within a volume portion and attached to the opening. The bladder includes a plurality of elongated wall sections foldably coupled to each other and defining a bladder volume therebetween. The bladder inflates by unfolding the plurality of elongated wall sections to increase the bladder volume in response to an increase in a pressure of a working fluid inside the bladder volume. The compressible fluid is contained in a remaining volume portion between the inner surface of the housing and the bladder. The compressible fluid is compressed to an offset pressure in response to inflation of the plurality of elongated wall sections.

A fluid tank includes polymeric liner comprising an upper wall and a lower wall. The upper wall and the lower wall define a cavity therebetween. A weld joint joins the upper and lower walls together. A method for assembling a fluid tank includes overlapping surfaces of an upper wall and a lower wall to form a liner defining a cavity. The method includes joining the surface of the upper wall and the surface of the lower wall together by welding to form a weld joint between the upper wall and the lower wall. The method can include cooling the weld joint to control warpage of the liner at the weld joint.

An accumulator includes a pressure vessel and a partition portion separating an interior space of the pressure vessel into a liquid chamber and a gas chamber so that a volume ratio between the liquid chamber and the gas chamber in the pressure vessel is variable. The pressure vessel includes a first section including a thread portion for fastening the accumulator to a support member and a second section joined to the first section and formed by a single piece including a tool engagement portion capable of engaging with a tool for rotating the accumulator. The first section and the second section are fitted together by mating portions coaxial with the thread portion and the tool engagement portion.

A bellows accumulator, consisting of at least two housing parts (4, 6) which form an accumulator housing (2), and having a separating bellows (20), which is movably arranged in the accumulator housing (2) and separates two media spaces (8, 22) from each other and is at least on its one free end fixed to a securing device (24) in the accumulator housing (2), wherein said securing device (24) is welded to the adjacently arranged housing parts (4, 6), is characterized in that the adjacently arranged housing parts (4, 6) comprise at least in part titanium materials, in that the securing device (24) consists of at least two interconnected components (26, 30), at least one (26) of which comprises at least in part titanium materials and is welded to the adjacently arranged housing parts (4, 6), and in that the respective other component (30), consisting of a different metal material, is used for securing the separating bellows (20) to the securing device (24).
