Rolling assembly
A rolling assembly, including at least one roll pair with two cooperating rolls and a safety device. The safety device includes a hydraulic accumulator and a measuring device. The hydraulic accumulator includes an accumulator with a first and second accumulator chamber. A hydraulic fluid is disposed within the first accumulator chamber. A compressible gas is disposed within the second accumulator chamber. The hydraulic accumulator includes a moveably arranged separating member separating the first accumulator chamber from the second accumulator chamber. The roll pair has a working position and a safety position. A radial distance between the rolls is larger in the safety position than in the working position. The hydraulic accumulator is configured to move the roll pair from the working position to the safety position. The measuring device is configured to continuously detect a position of the separating member within the hydraulic accumulator.

Energy Storage and Control System for Pipeline Flow Control
A fluid control system for controlling flow of a process fluid can include an actuator and an energy storage system. The actuator can be configured to actuate a valve to control the flow of the process fluid and the energy storage system can drive the actuator. The energy storage system can include an accumulator in fluid communication with the actuator and a manual pump configured to charge the accumulator.
