Description
The Parker-Sporlan VA355S (SKU 470049) is a suction line accumulator engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from liquid refrigerant slugging and oil carryover. Designed with 5/8″ ODF sweat connections, this accumulator fits seamlessly into a wide range of residential and light commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems.
How It Works
Suction line accumulators act as a liquid trap between the evaporator and the compressor. The VA355S temporarily holds excess liquid refrigerant and oil, allowing only refrigerant vapor to pass through to the compressor. This safeguards the compressor against hydraulic damage and extends overall system life.
