Accumulator
Description
The accumulator is connected directly between the condenser and the expansion valve. Accumulator is used on sys-
tems that use an orifice tube to meter refrigerants into the evaporator.
Operation
The primary function of the accumulator is to isolate the compressor from any damaging liquid refrigerant. The accu-
mulator removes debris and moisture from the air conditioning system.
