Copper Accumulators
Parker's Vertical, Horizontal, and Stand-Pipe Copper
Accumulators hold unused system charge to prevent
liquid slugging of the compressor and excessive
refrigerant dilution of the compressor oil. Copper
accumulators have extensive usage in low temperature
refrigeration and heat-pump applications, along with
some residential air conditioning systems.
Application
• Low temperature refrigeration and heat-pump
applications.
• Some residential air conditioning systems.
Features and Benefits
• Accumulators available in vertical (inlet and outlet
on same end), horizontal (inlet and outlet on
opposite ends), and stand-pipe designs.
• Stand-pipe design can be made with or without
an orifice to meter oil return to the compressor.
• Systems using a rotary compressor should use
a stand-pipe accumulator including a screened
baffle and an oil-return orifice for maximum
system performance.
• A wide variety of O.D. and volume sizes are
designed to meet the unique requirements of a
system.
• Bifurcated sweat connections in a variety of sizes
provide for easy installation.
