Description
The International Comfort Products 1173631 Accumulator is a refrigerant management component used to protect the compressor from liquid refrigerant entry in HVAC systems. It is typically installed in the suction line between the evaporator and compressor in air conditioning and heat pump applications. During operation, it temporarily stores excess refrigerant and allows only vapor to return to the compressor, reducing the internal damage. Within the system, it plays a essential role in maintaining proper refrigerant flow conditions, and supporting stable compressor performance under varying load conditions.
