Accumulator testing w/pressure gauge
I mentioned in another thread that I was going to try to get actual data on the performance of the accumulators I have on the shelf. My test rig utilizes my pressure gauge assembly for testing system pressure on the car, a 500ml graduated cylinder and a used pump/motor assembly. The graduated cylinder is just a cheap plastic Amazon special accurate to +- 5ml with a hose barb tapped into the bottom as the reservoir. I used the same 350ml level as the start of each test to minimize variation. I ra
Yes, Dave and I ran through several pump accumulator combinations today. This was my first try with the three indicator lights connected, yellow abs, red pressure and blue for pump switch, which turned out to work pretty well. Thanks to Dave I now have the plugs to connect pump and pressure switch wiring more easily and quickly. I won't detail the results specifically but I did notice the trends of estimated gas pre-charge remain consistent with the amount of fluid pumped in. While we did not fi
