What Is a Suction Line Accumulator?
A suction line accumulator is a critical refrigeration component mounted between the evaporator and the compressor. It acts as a reservoir that temporarily holds any liquid refrigerant or oil that may flood back through the suction line, allowing only refrigerant vapor to enter the compressor. This protects the compressor from hydraulic damage and is especially important during defrost cycles, low-load conditions, and system startups.
