Windlass Modular Frac Accumulator System
Efficient and Reliable Frac Valve Actuation Solution
- Overview
Our Modular Frac Accumulator System offers a highly efficient solution for frac valve actuation that surpasses traditional HPU systems. This field-proven system significantly reduces the Total Cost of Ownership, providing a superior and streamlined product. Known as the CHPU/POD system, it features a single central power unit (CHPU) that powers each individual Remote-Control Panel (POD), substantially lowering the carbon footprint.
Technical Specifications
- Engine: Hatz diesel engine with backup air pumps
- Power: Solar-powered panel with battery
- Control: Auto-Start/OFF Smart control panel
- Design: Bent plate style skid
- Gearbox: 2:1 ratio gear box to replace the belt drive, eliminating daily belt torque adjustments
- Capacity: Each POD can actuate up to 6 hydraulic valves
- Control: Dedicated pressure regulator for individual POD pressure control
Each POD maintains its own stored energy for quick fluid propulsion and reduced actuation time
Closed-loop system providing redundancy

These setups are favored for their durability and cost-efficiency across various sectors, with hydraulic fracturing (frac) being a primary application.
Yes, daisy chaining allows multiple Pods to share fluid and pressure in series. This is a key feature of the Windlass CHPU and POD configuration.
Each POD is equipped with isolation and bleed valves, enabling service without disrupting the daisy chain.
Absolutely. Engine RPM can be manually adjusted via the controller's front panel or programmed as needed.
