Compressor suction accumulator with pre-charged oil.

Author(s) : YUN K. W.

Summary

A compressor accumulator based on a different concept from a conventional suction accumulator is proposed. The new accumulator is pre-charged with oil. The primary function of an accumulator being storage of excess refrigerant during certain operating conditions, it offers several major advantages compared to the conventional accumulator. An example of such an accumulator is introduced, operational characteristics observed, reliability evaluated and potential risks defined.
