Accumulator -5/8ID -1.6Litres -2500KPA
The refrigeration compressor is designed to compress vapour only. A suction
line accumulator prevents compressor damage from a sudden surge of
liquid refrigerant and oil which could enter the compressor from the suction
line. The suction line accumulator is a temporary reservoir for this mixture,
designed to meter both the liquid refrigerant and oil back to the compressor
at an acceptable rate. This prevents damage to the reed valves, pistons,
rods, and crank shafts.
Features
• Designed for maximum flow and minimal pressure drop.
• Optimised metering device orifice for maximum mass flow.
• A 30 mesh screen fitted to the orifice of the metering device.
• U-tube inlet positioned is separated from the vessel inlet.
• Stamped inlet position.
• Powder coated finish.
Benefits
• Negligible loss in system efficiency.
• Positive oil return with controlled liquid injection
• Reduced chance of orifice blocking.
• Reduced risk of high velocity liquid carry over.
• Ensures correct installation orientation.
• Exceeds 500 hours ASTM salt spray tests
