Weight Loaded Accumulator Working Animation

Explaining the Weight loaded or Dead Weight Pressure Accumulator with the help of this Animation

A Weight loaded pressure accumulator is a type of accumulator in which the energy of hydraulic fluid is stored in the form of potential energy of the dead weight.
Firstly the Accumulator is charged by pumping the hydraulic fluid through a hydraulic pump and raising the dead weight to a particular height, the Pump is then turned off.
Now the potential energy of the weight is used to push the stored fluid with a high pressure to the various hydraulic circuits connected to the discharge port of the accumulator.
