An innovative, eco-friendly hydraulic reservoir that replaces bulky, heavy traditional reservoirs
An innovative hydraulic reservoir design where the solution aims to replace in many applications the classic, bulky-heavy tanks. Based on aerospace reservoir design, the concept is affordable and adapted for land & subsea applications. Its prime objective is to get the minimal carbon footprint by its construction, and mainly when filled with hydraulic fluid. Thus, its volume can be 20 times less than a classic reservoir and its weight 100 times less. Its concept is based on a flexible membrane using the commercial name Variable Volume Reservoir (VVR). When filled with fluid, it will compensate for thermal expansion and cylinder rod volume. Over classic reservoir, the VVR offers many benefits; it's light, not flow dependent, and thus can fit with any size pump. It's airless and sealed, eliminating contaminants and moisture ingestion. It can work upside down and even down to the seafloor. Its small size makes it more appealing to fill with bio fluids since these fluids are much more expensive.
