ASP 5.0: available soon

For the road – For speed – For now:

 

The new ASPlight

HYDAC Accumulator Technology is working at top speed on a completely new accumulator sizing program, 
ASP - Accumulator Simulation Program.
In Spring 2012, the re-vamped Version 5.0 will be unveiled to the public. 
To ease the waiting time, and following many requests, Accumulator Technology division has developed a forerunner to the new, comprehensive 5.0 version:

                                                            ASPlight

ASPlight is new, 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.

Try the ASPlight right now by downloading the program to your PC and installing it for use.

Or ASPlight can easily be run as a web application and without installing, 
right here, as well as on the
"Accumulator" product pages of the HYDAC website. 
Watch out for the ASPlight symbol

Accumulator Sizing with PC

Relaunch: ASP - Accumulator Simulation Program

Do you want to size an accumulator for your hydraulic system and need to find out the required gas volume?
What does the accumulator's behavior in the system actually look like?
The relevant formulae are unwieldy and in any case are only partially applicable.

 

HYDAC Technology GmbH has made significant improvements to its simulation program.
In addition to correcting some program errors and improving handling, the following new features are now also available:

• Output of volume displacement work in simulation mode
•  Automatic correction of pump and consumer flows during input

The new solution is: ASP - Version 4.3

 

Naturally, the well-established features also continue to be part of the program:

• Accumulator sizing on a PC with Windows for bladder, diaphragm and piston accumulators and for systems using back-up nitrogen bottles. Isentropic, isothermal and polytropic changes in condition are taken into account.
• Calculation of accumulator systems with the option of inputting accumulators, consumers and pumps with their particular switch-on and switch-off times.
• Simulation of pressure, temperature and volume over the given cycle time.Real gas equations are used for this and the accumulator type and its heat exchange behavior is taken into account in the calculation.
• Accumulator sizing for pulsation dampers. Calculation of the gas volume and the residual pulsation of gas-filled pulsation dampers.
• Sizing of shock absorbers, calculation of the required gas volume for "Joukowsky shock".Complex pipe systems are possible on request.
