Accumulator function

In the parts of the air conditioning unit is the accumulator that has not been posted. Location of the accumulator or accumulators Javanese language is always side by side with the compressor to the AC measuring 0.5 pk s / d 3 PK in particular for the androgynous ROTARY compressor, compressor androgynous PISTON rarely use this accumulator. For large or small size of the accumulator depends on the brand compressor, since the compressor particular brand with the same OD size, no larger accumulator. if you want to replace a new compressor hope adjusted first with body outdoor unit in order to facilitate the installation of the compressor so that the accumulator is not rubbing against the body / cover outdoor unit can cause noise in the outdoor air conditioning unit.

Actually what is the function of accumulator in this air conditioner .. ?? from various sources I try to collect on accumulator function. Accumulators on the AC compressor serves as a temporary reservoir of liquid refrigerant low temperature and a mixture of lubricating oil / compressor oil. in addition it also controls the accumulator flow circulation refrigran material that can enter through the channel located at the top of the accumulator (suction pipe / low pressure), to prevent the liquid refrigerant does not flow into the compressor, where the accumulator working condition refrigran form remains in the form of gas , because when refrigran gaseous form would be easier to get into the compressor so as not to damage the inside of the compressor. then from that at the time of charging freon manifold valves do not open the full position which may result in the entry of freon / liquid refrigran this, and also not in the habit at the time of filling the freon / refrigerant tube refrigrant with reverse.
