I’ll add to what has already been posted. Accumulators are also used when
“unrealistically large” flows are needed for a hydraulic system. That is…when you need a
sudden impulse of flow that is simply not practically obtained from a pump or series of
pumps.
You’ll see this when the gantry of a space launch system is moved out of the way of the
rocket once the rocket is released. (as a generalization…) A large cylinder has to move
the tower in a very short period of time. So, a series of large accumulators can be
charged ahead of time and then released during the launch. This works well…given the
low cycle rate of the gantry system.
