ABSTRACT:
A suction accumulator including a tubular housing defining a liquid storage vessel. A conduit is arranged in the vessel and includes a divider plate for forming two fluid flow passageways. A plastic transition cap is secured to one end of the conduit to form a connection passage between the two fluid flow passageways. A tubular conduit extends from the liquid storage volume through the transition cap member and into the upflow passageway whereby liquid refrigerant is aspirated from the liquid storage volume into the upflow passageway. A screen member is provided in the transition cap member to prevent impurities from flowing through the tubular conduit into the upflow passageway. In one embodiment, a pair of pressure equalizing vents are integrally molded with the conduit to equalize pressures in the accumulator when the compressor is turned off. In another embodiment, a pressure equalizing vent directly connects the outlet of the accumulator to the liquid storage vessel.
