ABSTRACT:
An accumulator for an automotive refrigeration system is disclosed. The accumulator includes a housing having a cover, an inlet port for introducing refrigerant, an outlet port, and a U-shaped tube having one end connected to the outlet port and an other end opening to the upper portion of the housing of the accumulator at a predetermined level. A conduit is vertically disposed in the housing of the accumulator and has lower end opening into the housing at a level lower than the other end of the U-shaped tube. The upper end of the conduit communicates with the outlet port through a fluid passage. A sight glass is disposed on the fluid passage to view the refrigerant. On charging the system, when refrigerant is in view, the proper volume of refrigerant is enclosed in the refrigeration system.
