AbstractThe invention relates to a fluid accumulator (17) having a mechanically actuated fluid accumulator valve (10), which has three or more inlet/outlet openings. The fluid storage system (17) is integrated into a pipeline system via at least three connections, whereby at least two of these at least three connections are controlled via the fluid storage valve (10). Fluid storage systems (17) with ranges of different temperatures of the stored fluid often require three-way or multi-directional valves as fluid storage valves (10) in order to introduce or discharge fluid into them depending on the temperature. In particular, hot water cylinders for the rapid provision of warm drinking water require quickly switchable valves, which requires a strong drive in the case of well-known mechanical three-way or multi-port valves. Combinations of fluid storage (17) and fluid storage valve (10) according to the invention are characterized by the fact that the fluid storage valve (10) has a controllable device for reversible action on one of two separation devices (2, 2a, 2b) inside the fluid storage valve (10), which is not fixed with the separation device (2, 2a, 2b). The attachment point and type of design of the controllable device result in an easier and thus faster switching of the fluid storage valve (10). For even faster switching, further technical designs of the fluid storage valve (10) can further reduce the mechanical work required for switching.<br><br><br>
