CHAPTER 16: Accumulators | Power & Motion
The circuit in Figure 16-2 uses a fixed-volume pump and an accumulator unloading-and-dump valve. The valve forces pump flow to the accumulators when pressure drops approximately 15% below its maximum set pressure. At set pressure, the unloading valve opens and all pump flow bypasses to tank at 25- to 50-psi pressure drop.
