Refrigeration
Suction Accumulators
The Complete Line For Exact Selection!
Air conditioning, heat pump and many other applications require
intermittent operation of the refrigeration compressor. Especially in
remote applications, the suction line may trap or hold large quantities
of liquid which are suddenly dumped into the compressor upon start-
up. This is frequently the cause of broken valves, pistons, snapped or
bent connecting rods, blown gaskets and bearing washout.
Installation of a Suction Accumulator in the suction line just before the
compressor eliminates damage from a sudden surge of refrigerant
and/or oil during the start-up process.
Features
• Inlet deflector permits tangential entry of fluid.
• Inlet marked with metal plate to prevent error in hook-up.
• 4" to 6" diameters are complete with fusible plug and installed to comply
with UL & cUL.
• Copper nipples are standard on vertical UL and cUL models
• Controlled hydrogen copper brazing process provides ultimate in
cleanliness and uniform strength.
