Accumulator (computing), in a CPU, is a processor register in which intermediate results are stored.
Hydraulic accumulator, an energy storage device using a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source.
Accumulator (air conditioning), a refrigerant storage and dehydration element of an air conditioning system.
The pressure generated by a spring-loaded accumulator depends on the initial loading and spring rate of the spring, and thus is not constant throughout the stroke of the piston.
Accumulators of this type are compact and light, but best suited to systems where demand is intermittent and the fluid volumes required from the accumulator flow are not very large, as this type of accumulator is not normally made in large sizes.
An accumulator is a convenient source of pressure to operate a holding device at constant pressure, regardless of demand from other sections of the system, or for maintaining a high working pressure on a workpiece during a long stand-by period.
