Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An active accumulator system which automatically adjusts or adapts the charge pressure or volume of an accumulator to maintain an optimal charge pressure or volume of the accumulator may provide optimal operation of a pump. An active accumulator system may comprise a flow line coupled to a pump, wherein a fluid flows through the flow line to the pump, an accumulator coupled to the flow line, a transducer coupled to the pump, wherein the transducer detects a parameter of the pump at an inlet of the pump, and a controller coupled to the transducer and the accumulator, wherein the controller receives the parameter, and wherein the controller regulates air flow to the accumulator such that the accumulator is adjusted to an optimal charge pressure based at least in part on the parameter.
