Description
The ICP 1173714 Accumulator is 7/8″ in refrigeration circuits to manage liquid refrigerant returning from the evaporator. It operates by separating and temporarily storing excess liquid refrigerant, allowing only vapor to return to the compressor while directing oil and refrigerant back into the system at a controlled rate. This support prevents liquid from flooding back to the compressor. Typically installed in heat pumps, air conditioners, and packaged HVAC system units it plays an essential role in protecting the compressor and maintaining stable refrigerant flow and system efficiency under varying load conditions.
