Hello,
This may be a very basic question regarding the workings of accumulators, but I have been unable to find the answer elsewhere.
If the pressure and flow within a hydraulic system is varying sinusoidally (peak pressure = 200 bar, period = 10 s) due to the motion of a piston, and you want to use an accumulator to store the excess pressure and flow when it is above 100 bar say, does the accumulator continue to charge once it has reached 200 bar and the system pressure falls back down to 100 bar and lower?
