Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An expandable accumulator and reservoir assembly includes a reservoir defining an interior chamber containing working fluid therein and an expandable accumulator. The expandable accumulator includes an inner layer and an outer layer at least partially surrounding the inner layer. The inner layer includes a higher fracture strain than the outer layer. The accumulator is at least partially positioned in the reservoir and at least partially immersed in the working fluid contained within the interior chamber. The accumulator is configured to exchange working fluid with the reservoir.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An expandable accumulator and reservoir assembly comprising: a reservoir defining an interior chamber containing working fluid therein; and an expandable accumulator including an innermost layer and an outermost layer, wherein only an inner surface of the innermost layer is in contact with the working fluid and only an outer surface of the outermost layer is in contact with the working fluid when the working fluid is inside the accumulator and in the res…
