  • this object is achieved by a device which has the features of claim 1 in its entirety.
  • An essential special feature of the invention is, according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1, that the movable separating element of the pressure accumulator separates a space connected to the sea water from an actuating space which contains an actuating fluid and is in communication with the second pressure space, and that the bladder accumulator or hydraulic accumulator Has corrosion-resistant storage housing in the form of an elongated storage cylinder which is arranged parallel and adjacent to the cylinder arrangement and extends along the entire length of the cylinder part containing the second pressure chamber.
  • the working pressure in the cylinder arrangement is not generated or transmitted by means of the sea water acting directly on the piston arrangement, but a pressure accumulator is connected upstream of the cylinder arrangement, from which an actuating fluid which is under the deep sea pressure can be supplied to the cylinder arrangement.
  • the pressure accumulator has a space connected to the sea water, which is separated by a movable separating element from the space containing the actuating fluid, which is in communication with the corresponding pressure space of the cylinder arrangement in order to apply the deep-sea pressure to it by means of the actuating fluid and thus causing the piston movement that creates the working pressure.
  • a bladder accumulator or hydraulic accumulator is provided, which is advantageously equipped with a bladder, for example made of plastic or a synthetic rubber.
  • the arrangement is such that the bladder accumulator or hydraulic accumulator has a storage housing in the form of an elongated storage cylinder, which is arranged parallel and adjacent to the cylinder arrangement and extends along the entire length of the cylinder part containing the second pressure chamber.

  • the diameter of the tubular body is preferably larger than the cylinder diameter of the cylinder arrangement, so that there is a relatively large additional volume of the gas under prestressing pressure.
  • a line can be formed in the end piece, which is located at the closed end of the prestressing pressure chamber, which connects this to the pressure vessel via a hole in the associated closed end of the tubular body and in the closed end of the prestressing pressure chamber.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in the drawing is intended for use with a so-called "blow-out preventer” (BOP), which is arranged as a safety system in a deep-water drilling at a great depth of sea, for example 3600 m.
  • BOP low-out preventer
  • the device can be of considerable size for such applications.
  • the cylinder arrangement forming the main part of the device, which is denoted as a whole by 1 in the drawing, can for example have a length in the range of 4 m.

  • the piston rod 9 is guided through the separating body 7 under sealing.
  • the cylinder part 3 is closed at the end by a closure part 15 and the cylinder part 5 by a closure part 17.
  • the cylinder arrangement 1 defines four internal pressure spaces, namely between the separating body 7 and the piston 13 located in the second cylinder part 5 a first pressure space 19 which contains the pressure fluid which is provided for actuating the BOP.
  • a pressure vessel 27 in the form of a cylindrical tubular body is arranged next to the cylinder arrangement 1, parallel to and closely adjacent thereto, and has the same length as the cylinder arrangement 1, but a larger diameter, preferably twice the diameter thereof.
  • the pressure vessel 27 is closed at the end by closure parts 29 and 31.
  • the mutually aligned closed ends of the cylinder parts 3 and 5 and of the pressure container 27, that is to say the respective closure parts 15 and 29 as well as 17 and 31, are each connected to one another via an end piece 33 or 35.
  • the pressure vessel chamber 27 is also connected to the preload pressure chamber 23 via the end piece 35.
  • the device completes a corrosion-resistant pressure accumulator 37, in the exemplary embodiment in the form of a bladder accumulator or hydraulic accumulator, with an elongated plastic-coated accumulator housing 39 which extends along the pressure container 27, parallel and adjacent to it, with a length which is approximately the length of the adjacent first cylinder part 3 corresponds.
  • the actuation chamber 43 is connected via a pressure line 49 to an actuation inlet 51, which is connected to the first pressure chamber 21 via a channel in the separating body 7 of the cylinder arrangement 1.

  • the sea water pressure in the second pressure chamber 21 of, for example, 360 bar (3600 m water depth) and a low pressure pressure chamber 25 the displacement movement of the pistons 11, 13 is therefore in Fig.
  • a pressure level of substantially more than 600 bar is available in order to provide the working pressure in the hydraulic fluid contained in the first pressure chamber 19, which is therefore also available at the working outlet 63 of the separating body 7. Due to the relatively large volume of the biasing gas, which is available in the pressure vessel 27 thanks to the supply volume, the entire piston stroke path can be assisted by the biasing pressure.
  • the function of the device according to the invention is not only particularly reliable because, thanks to the pressure reservoir 37, the seawater is separated from the cylinder arrangement 1, but the hydraulic working pressure is also generated particularly efficiently thanks to the supply volume of the prestressing gas pressure available in the pressure vessel 27.
