Liquid storage (ACCUMULATOR) is an important part of the compressor, plays the role of storage, gas-liquid separation, filtration, noise reduction and refrigerant buffer.

It is by the cylinder (BODY), inlet pipe (INLET PIPE), outlet pipe (OUTLET PIPE), filter (SCREEN) and other parts of the composition of the principle of operation is as follows:

Liquid reservoir is fitted in the air conditioner evaporator and compressor suction tube parts, is to prevent liquid refrigerant into the compressor and produce liquid shock protection parts.

In the operation of the air conditioning system, can not guarantee that all the refrigerant can be completely vaporised; that is, from the evaporator out of the refrigerant will be liquid refrigerant into the reservoir, due to the lack of vaporisation of the liquid refrigerant because of its own heavier than the gas, will be directly put on the bottom of the reservoir cylinder, vaporised refrigerant by the outlet of the reservoir into the compressor, thus preventing the compressor from sucking in the liquid refrigerant caused by the liquid shock.

In the use of the reservoir components in operation, in order to avoid impurities in the pipeline directly into the compressor, so in the reservoir inlet pipe to the outlet pipe will be installed between a screen to prevent the possibility of impurities into the compressor.

Compressor long-term operation, there will be a certain amount of internal lubricating oil with the vaporisation of the refrigerant discharge, through the pipeline will enter the reservoir barrel, due to welding in the reservoir barrel at the bottom of the outlet pipe has a processing "back to the oil holes", so the lubricating oil precipitation in the bottom of the barrel through the suction force of the compressor force, and then back to the outlet pipe of the reservoir and the compressor. Into the compressor, thus the compressor and play a lubrication protection role.
