With its unique ability to maximize pressure capacity in accumulators without increased weight or pressure on the existing piping and hydraulic system, Oilgear’s Boosting and Regulating System—or BARS—is designed to increase the fluid pressure from the surface with its proprietary intensifier pumps to a maximum of 7,500 psi. Storing additional volume, it then regulates the downstream pressure back to 5,000 psi.
Product Details
The operation of the BARS unit is fully hydraulic, meaning there are no electrical signals needed. Once fluid is supplied to the inlet or consumed from the outlet, the BARS unit will begin to operate until a system equilibrium is created.
BARS is a proprietary design by Oilgear’s Olmsted group. The unit can be retrofitted to any BOP system without modifications and bolts on and connects to your system with only three hoses. BARS does not require real-time control, and fully redundant intensifiers and regulators offers both weight and cost savings.
