Description
The Carrier KH71KP162 Accumulator is a key component in various HVAC systems, including air conditioners, furnaces, and heat pumps. It is a cylindrical shaped device, 17 inches in length and 5 inches in diameter, and is constructed of bi-metal. This accumulator also serves as a tiny tank that holds and releases pressurized fluid to ensure that the system runs efficiently and is highly sensitive to control. Acting as a shock absorber for the pressure changes and vibrations, it shields the rest of the components from abrasion or otherwise, malfunctions.
