Car accumulator/vacuum canister

[123hotchef]

do these metal canisters have a bladder or diaphragm inside them?

 

[Burdekin]

I don't think so, just a non-return valve I think.

 

[123hotchef]

my non return valve is elsewhere in the pipe work as the can has one entrance/exit I am thinking the oneway valve could be bad though, after making a new can and it still not working correctly

 

[Burdekin]

Sorry yeah the nrv is external. I don't think there is anything internally. Have you got a gauge on it? Have you got a hot cam?

The industrial accumulators I've worked on normally have a Nitrogen charged bladder inside.

 

[Burdekin]

Are you talking about an additional vacuum canister for the brake booster?

 

[123hotchef]

what is a hot cam? it is a vacume canister for the 4wd system but same princaple as brakes

 

[123hotchef]

Larger cam shaft. This is similar to the one I have and is used for extra vacuum for the brake booster. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Vacu...n-with-Check-Valve-and-Hardware-/231213110465
