EconoLator II ®Open Top Bladder AccumulatorRepairableThe “EconoLator II®” is a Tobul productseries which is a transition from piston-typeaccumulators to bladder-type accumulators, andincorporates characteristics of both designs…24Utilizes a cylindrical steel cylinder with heads similar topiston-types. The fluid cap (bottom) is precision machineweldedinto the steel cylinder to form a durable vessel.Utilizes an open top bladder available in a variety ofsizes and elastomer materials (Buna-N/Butyl/EPR/Viton®) similar to a diaphragm-type design. Whereasmany diaphragm-type units are permanently sealed andnon-repairable, the “EconoLator II®” is repairable.Utilizes an upper cap and threaded ring assembly toretain and seal the open topped bladder, providing asimple “top-repairable” advantage; e.g., unit does not haveto be removed from a vertically mounted application inorder to replace bladder as long as Accumulator can beisolated from system pressure and physically accessible.Available in one quart and one gallon capacityat this time, with a one pint capacity unitto be released in the near future.The EBR50 series (5,000 PSI) utilizes a threadedfluid end cap in addition to the upper gas cap andretaining ring assembly, similar to piston-type units.Illustrations are representational and not necessarily indicative of how any particular model will be built.
