ASP 5.0 – The New Dimension in Accumulator Sizing

When calculating the accumulator gas volume, the most important parameters are: pressure, volume and temperature. In the past these were used in complicated and unwieldy equations to calculate the required accumulator size.
In 1997, through the use of program routines taking into account real gas behaviours, HYDAC revolutionized the process of calculating and simulating hydraulic accumulators. The ASP - Accumulator Simulation Program was launched.
Years of experience, continuous improvement and the inclusion of new functions has turned ASP into a calculation software which enables the user, with great accuracy, to simulate the behaviour of accumulators.

HYDAC has completely revised its calculation software ASP and is now proud to present: ASP 5.0

In addition to being totally re-designed, the ASP 5.0 program has two new program sections and is now no longer three-dimensional, but five-dimensional in structure:

Simulation, with the well-known advantages but with a completely fresh appearance and additional visual representation of the most important parameters,
Pressure shock damping, clearly arranged in one program window,
Pulsation damping, including corrected pump factors, also presented in a clear program window and the new programs:
Volume compensation and
the integration of the stand-alone, simplified software ASPlight, also from HYDAC.

The user interface has been completely up-dated. Improvements have been made to the process for printing, exporting and saving the results. The visualization of the simulation and the displays for volume, pressure and temperature are clearly arranged and make the new version a pleasure to use.

ASPlight – Accumulator sizing on the road

ASPlight is a simplified software from HYDAC Accumulator Technology which enables you to calculate all the necessary parameters such as pressure, volume and temperature for the isothermal or adiabatic charging and discharging processes of an accumulator.

ASPlight is aimed at the user who is tasked with determining the essential accumulator parameters within a short time. The software will be a particularly useful tool in your role as sales consultant in the field, by providing quick, straightforward calculations for hydraulic accumulators.

ASPlight is operated via a single window and is language neutral. The design is comparable to a pocket calculator. Simulation curves are not shown.

ASPlight is an intelligent application which takes into account real gas behaviour, calculates in different units of measurement for pressure, volume and temperature and permits you to select different gases such as nitrogen or helium. The maximum input for pressure is 2500 bar. Additional information fields help to evaluate the result and to determine the type of accumulator.

ASPlight has a program help section which explains its operation and includes three calculation examples with which to practise. Installation requirements are Windows XP or higher, as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

Count on ASPlight !
Either download the program to your computer right now, or use it online as a web application on the HYDAC website, without installation.
Look out for the ASPlight symbol on ht ehDYCA product pages for Accumulators.
