AC Accumulator

AC accumulator regulates the flow of refrigerant through the system. It is a small container that acts as a temporary storage tank for refrigerant before it is sent to the compressor. The accumulator removes any moisture or debris that may be present in the refrigerant, ensuring that the compressor receives clean, dry refrigerant. This helps to extend the life of the compressor and prevents any damage from occurring.

One of the main uses of the air conditioner accumulator is to prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor. If liquid refrigerant were to enter the compressor, it could cause damage to the compressor and decrease the overall efficiency of the air conditioning system. 

In addition to regulating the flow of refrigerant, the air conditioner accumulator also helps to maintain the proper pressure in the system. If the pressure were to get too low, the system would not function properly and may even shut down.
