What are Hydraulic Accumulators? How do They Work?

The hydraulic pump pumps the fluid into the accumulator, which is nothing but a sealed container. The volume of the container is fixed and cannot be changed. But the quantity of hydraulic fluid being pumped inside the container is increasing continuously. So the pressure of the hydraulic fluid inside the container starts to increase.
