Charging the accumulator is controlled by the accumulator charge valve. In a flame effects system, the accumulator stores a small amount of fuel under pressure so a quick, controlled release can produce the effect. The charge valve sits upstream of the accumulator and, when opened, meters the exact amount of fuel and pressure that enters the accumulator. This sets the stored energy and duration of the shot, allowing for repeatable, predictable flame appearances. Other options don’t fit this role: an effect valve is the release valve that dumps the stored fuel, a safety shutoff valve is for stopping flow in emergencies, and a flame effect plan is just the sequence description, not a hardware valve.
