The most common option for autonomous water supply with a hydraulic accumulator is a tandem with a surface pump. In this case, the hydraulic tank can be part of a complex pumping equipment assembled by the manufacturer in factory conditions, or a separate component placed next to the pump in a caisson or in a heated utility room.

A check valve is installed in front of the hydraulic accumulator to prevent changes in the direction of flow, and after it a pressure relay is placed that responds to changes in pressure, and a pressure gauge to monitor operating parameters.

For normal connection to the water supply circuit, the hydraulic tank is usually equipped with an angular branch pipe, which is connected to the flange:

Use with booster pump station
A booster pump unit is used to continuously maintain and regulate pressure in pipelines with active water consumption. Typically, such stations have a pump that operates in a constant mode.

If there is a need to connect additional pumps, the hydraulic accumulator helps to compensate for the pressure surges that occur in the system.

As part of the water supply system of the booster pumping station, the hydraulic accumulator performs the function of an emergency water supply source and a kind of damper that prevents water hammer in the event of additional capacity being connected
