1. A pressing arrangement comprising:
a pressure vessel;
a pressure medium supplying device configured to output a flow of a pressure medium; and
a pressure medium accumulator comprising:
at least one inlet in fluid communication with the pressure medium supplying device for receiving the flow of the pressure medium that is output by the pressure medium supplying device;
at least one outlet in fluid communication with the pressure vessel for outputting a flow of the pressure medium to the pressure vessel; and
at least one internal space in fluid communication with the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet, respectively;
wherein the pressure medium accumulator is configured to continuously or continually accumulate the pressure medium received via the at least one inlet within the at least one internal space, such that accumulated amounts of the pressure medium are continuously or continually output from the at least one internal space via the at least one outlet such that the pressure medium accumulator outputs the flow of the pressure medium via the at least one outlet to the pressure vessel;
wherein the pressure medium supplying device is configured to output a flow of gaseous pressure medium, and wherein the pressure medium supplying device comprises at least one compressor;
wherein the pressure medium accumulator is arranged such that the at least one internal space has a volume that is at least as large as a predefined constant multiplied with a volume of a compression stage of the at least one compressor, wherein from the compression stage, a compressed gaseous pressure medium exits the at least one compressor, wherein the predefined constant has a value that is equal to or greater than 3.
