Fixed Displacement Pump and Accumulator Closed-Center System: Fixed-Displacement Pump and Accumulator. In the illustration below, shows a closed center system. In this system, a pump of small but constant volume charges an accumulator.  When an accumulator is charged to full pressure, an unloading valve diverts the pump flow back to a reservoir. A check valve traps the pressured oil in the circuit. When a control valve is operated, an accumulator discharges its oil and actuates a cylinder. As pressure begins to drop, an unloading valve directs the pump flow to an accumulator to recharge the flow. This system, using a small capacity pump, is effective when operating oil is needed only for a short time. However, when the functions need a lot of oil for longer
