 HEAT PUMP ACCUMULATORS & ACCUMULATOR-DRIERS
SUCTION ACCUMULATORS
Having pioneered the suction accumulator as a protective component, and having made them continuously
over a period of 50 years, Refrigeration Research has acquired considerable experience. However, it has
always been our recommendation that tests be made by the system manufacturer to check pressure drop,
size of orifice and holding capacity of the accumulator for a particular application.
All of the accumulators shown below have 1-5/8” diameter copper shells. Shell dimensions
As a result of tests made by our customers as well as by Refrigeration Research, modifications have been

These heat exchangers have been produced for many years by our Solar Research Division for use to
provide heat interchange between liquid circulating from solar collectors and water in a storage tank. These
can be used for other applications where a liquid to liquid heat exchange is needed.
A continuous copper coil runs through the heat exchanger eliminating all internal joints. A steel tube
casing encloses the coil and an internal steel baffle slows the surrounding liquid inside the casing for
maximum heat transfer.

These heat exchangers have been produced for many years by our Solar Research Division for use to
provide heat interchange between liquid circulating from solar collectors and water in a storage tank. These
can be used for other applications where a liquid to liquid heat exchange is needed.
A continuous copper coil runs through the heat exchanger eliminating all internal joints. A steel tube
casing encloses the coil and an internal steel baffle slows the surrounding liquid inside the casing for
maximum heat transfer.

 HEAT PUMP ACCUMULATORS & ACCUMULATOR-DRIERS
SUCTION ACCUMULATORS
Having pioneered the suction accumulator as a protective component, and having made them continuously
over a period of 50 years, Refrigeration Research has acquired considerable experience. However, it has
always been our recommendation that tests be made by the system manufacturer to check pressure drop,
size of orifice and holding capacity of the accumulator for a particular application.
All of the accumulators shown below have 1-5/8” diameter copper shells. Shell dimensions
As a result of tests made by our customers as well as by Refrigeration Research, modifications have been
of the accumulator-driers are the same as the accumulators, the only difference being that the
made in many cases for heat pump applications. Our inlet deflector tube baffle, smaller metering orifices
accumulator-driers contain our monel wire cloth desiccant bag of 22 grams of silica gel.
and protective screens have proven to be a value. In addition, accumulators for heat pumps may usually be
designed for less pressure drop. Part numbers shown below designate accumulator-driers. *If an accumulator only is
Many hundreds of thousands of suction accumulators having inlet deflectors, smaller orifices, and desired, this must be specified when ordering by adding an “A” to the part number.
