Description
The Copeland 060968 Suction Accumulator (Model A-AS5179) is a heavy-duty refrigeration component engineered to protect compressors from liquid slugging and oil carryover. By temporarily holding excess liquid refrigerant and oil before it reaches the compressor suction port, this accumulator safeguards system integrity, extends compressor life, and helps maintain peak system efficiency.
Key Features
- Model: A-AS5179
- Connection type: 1-1/8″ sweat (ODF)
- Maximum working pressure: 300 PSI
- Body diameter: 6″
- Overall height: 13″
- Designed to prevent liquid refrigerant and oil slugging at the compressor suction inlet
- Durable construction built to withstand demanding commercial and industrial refrigeration environments
Application
This suction accumulator is ideal for use in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems where liquid management at the compressor inlet is critical. It is particularly well-suited for systems subject to frequent cycling, low-ambient operation, or refrigerant migration during off cycles — conditions that increase the risk of liquid slugging.
Why Use a Suction Accumulator?
- Prevents costly compressor damage caused by liquid refrigerant or oil entering the suction port
- Extends compressor service life and reduces unplanned downtime
- Helps maintain proper oil return to the compressor
- Supports system reliability across a wide range of operating conditions
