Brake Fluid Accumulators

BRAKE FLUID ACCUMULATORS

Teves Mark 20 ICU:

There are two fluid accumulators in the HCU-one for the primary hydraulic circuit and one for the secondary hydraulic circuit. Each hydraulic circuit uses a 5 cc accumulator.
The fluid accumulators temporarily store brake fluid that is removed from the wheel brakes during an ABS cycle. This stored fluid is used by the pump/ motor to provide build pressure for the brake hydraulic system. When the antilock stop is complete, the accumulators are drained by the pump/motor.
