Why Use a Suction Accumulator?
Suction accumulators are a critical line of defense in refrigeration and air conditioning circuits. By temporarily holding excess liquid refrigerant and oil, they prevent hydraulic lock and compressor damage — extending equipment life and reducing costly service calls. The Copeland A-AS384 is sized and rated to handle demanding operating pressures up to 300 PSI, making it suitable for a wide range of modern refrigerants and system configurations.
