Suction Line Accumulators (FA)
Components
General
The task of a refrigeration compressor is to draw refrigerant vapour from the evaporator and compress it to a state where it can easily be condensed into subcooled liquid. Depending on the operating conditions, situations can occur, when small amounts of liquid are carried-over from the evaporator and into the compressor. The consequence of this being liquidhammer which will damage the compressor in the following components:
- Suction Valve
- Discharge Valves
- Pistons and Connecting Rods
- Gasket
- Bearings
ESK suction line accumulators incorporate the injection principle which has been tried and tested for many years. Even if the accumulator is full of liquid refrigerant, it is not possible for liquid to enter the compressor suction.
