All the fluid would always flow through the accumulator dampening the vibrations produced by the pump. Because the accumulator stores energy, you will want to keep the accumulator on the high-pressure side of the system. A piston-style accumulator is best placed close to devices that cause pulsations to dampen those pulses. Figure 4.
