Carrier KH71KJ155 Accumulator

Description

The Carrier KH71KJ155 is an OEM accumulator designed to integrate seamlessly into Carrier refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Accumulators play a critical role in protecting the compressor by preventing liquid refrigerant or oil slugging — a condition that can cause severe compressor damage and premature system failure.

Key Features

• OEM Carrier replacement accumulator engineered for precise system compatibility
• Protects the compressor from liquid refrigerant slugging and oil carryover
• Helps maintain proper refrigerant flow and system efficiency
• Durable construction built to withstand the demands of continuous HVAC operation
• Direct OEM replacement ensures correct fit and reliable performance

Why Accumulators Matter

An accumulator is installed on the suction line between the evaporator and the compressor. It temporarily holds excess liquid refrigerant and oil, allowing only vapor to enter the compressor. This safeguard is especially important during low-load conditions, defrost cycles, or system startup — situations where liquid refrigerant is most likely to migrate toward the compressor.

Application

• Designed as a direct OEM replacement for compatible Carrier systems
• Suitable for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications
• Recommended for use by licensed HVAC/R technicians
