Description
The Carrier KH71KK120 is an OEM suction line accumulator engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from damaging liquid slugging and oil carryover. Designed with a 5/8″ suction line connection and rated to 235#, this accumulator ensures reliable, long-term compressor performance in residential and light commercial HVAC systems.
How It Works
A suction line accumulator is installed in the suction line between the evaporator and the compressor. It temporarily holds any excess liquid refrigerant or oil that may surge back toward the compressor, metering it safely into the suction stream as a vapor. This prevents hydraulic lock and compressor damage caused by liquid slugging — a critical safeguard during system startup, defrost cycles, and refrigerant migration events.
