Whats an accumulator tank?
An accumulator tank holds gas, under cannon firing pressure, next to the cannon valve. An accumulator tank improves cannon performance by providing larger gas flow to the cannon. Accumulator tanks are especially important when using multiple cannon setups. Accumulator tanks can weight a substantial amount when compared to the weight of the ship, and this should be taken into account. They are typically made from copper and/or brass tubing and sweat fitting that are sufficient to withstand the cannon pressure.
