Types, Symbol, Construction, Diagram & Working The hydraulic accumulator stores excess hydraulic energy and on demand makes the stored energy available to the system. The function of accumulator is similar to the function of flywheel in the IC engine/steam engine or capacitor in the electric circuit.
Different from the traditional accumulator, the hydraulic force in the new accumulator is transferred through the steel shaft and the cam mechanism. Therefore, the pressure range of the new accumulator is limited to the flexural strength of the steel shaft and the contact strength of the cam mechanism.
Researchers have designed kinds of novel accumulators with better performance in these specific areas. However, the pressure in these accumulators decreases significantly when the fluid oil is continuously supplied from the accumulator to the hydraulic system.
However, the pressure in these accumulators decreases significantly when the fluid oil is continuously supplied from the accumulator to the hydraulic system. This limitation leads to a transient large pressure drop, especially in a small hydraulic system with varied working frequency.
To verify the effectiveness of the new accumulator design, a preliminary experiment focusing on the steady of the fluid pressure is conducted in this subsection. The first experiment is to gauge the fluid pressure when the fluid flows in and out from the new accumulator at a fixed flow rate.
From the experimental results of the single cylinder system, the lowest pressure of the traditional accumulator decreases exponentially during the transition process. Under the basic working frequency 0.25 Hz, the critical values of the frequency increment are 0.18 Hz for the traditional accumulator and 0.31 Hz for the new accumulator.

Types of hydraulic accumulators and how they work
A hydraulic accumulator is a tank-like device that stores hydraulic energy in the form of pressurized fluid. It consists of a cylinder, a piston, and a fluid chamber. When the piston is pushed down, the hydraulic fluid is forced into the fluid chamber, compressing the gas or spring inside. This compressed gas or spring stores potential energy, which can be released later to …
