Q

An accumulator used in a hydraulic starting system is generally located between the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydraulic starting system flow path: how fluid moves from storage, to pressure source, to the device being started • Function of an accumulator: stores hydraulic energy (pressure and volume) to deliver a quick, powerful flow when needed • Difference between components: pump, storage/reserve tank, starting motor/compressor

💭 Think About

• First, picture the entire hydraulic circuit as a loop: where is fluid stored, where is it pressurized, and what actually does the work of starting? • Ask yourself: when you need a sudden burst of high-pressure fluid to crank the engine, between which two components would it be most effective to place an energy-storage device like an accumulator? • Consider: does an accumulator usually store low-pressure volume from a tank, or high-pressure fluid already boosted by a pump?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what the pump does (adds pressure) versus what the tank/reserve does (stores volume at low pressure). • Identify which component (compressor or starting motor) actually uses the stored hydraulic energy to turn the engine. • Verify that the accumulator must be on the high‑pressure side of the system, not in the low‑pressure return or supply line.
