Why Use an Accumulator?

Accumulators are critical components in heat pump and refrigeration systems. They act as a buffer between the evaporator and the compressor, catching any liquid refrigerant that has not fully vaporized. Without a properly functioning accumulator, liquid refrigerant can enter the compressor and cause severe mechanical damage — a condition known as liquid slugging. The Carrier KH71ZN280 is built to Carrier’s exacting standards to ensure seamless integration and dependable protection.

• Carrier heat pump and air conditioning systems
