<p>An accumulator (10) for a fluid system comprises a pressure vessel (12) with a baffle (16) oriented at a skew angle (¸). The baffle (16) divides the vessel (12) into first and second volumes (V1, V2). A first port (28) is provided to introduce a pressurizing fluid (14) into the first volume (V1), and a second port (32) is provided to circulate a working fluid (15) within the second volume (V2). A purge aperture (20) is provided to purge the pressurizing fluid (14) from the second volume (V2) across the baffle (16) into the first volume (V1), and a flow aperture (22) is provided to transfer the working fluid (15) through the baffle (16) between the first and second volumes (V1, V2).</p> |
