What Constitutes an Accumulator?

What Constitutes an Accumulator?

The hydraulic accumulator functions as an energy storage device, where energy is stored in the form of compressed gas, compressed spring, or lifted load. This stored energy is then applied to exert force on the relatively incompressible fluid.     Accumulators play a crucial role in fluid power systems, serving various functions. They are employed to store energy and mitigate pulsations. In hydraulic systems, they contribute to reducing the fluid pump's specifications by supplementing...
