ABSTRACT:
A suction accumulator for the compressor of a refrigeration system comprising a storage vessel having an inlet and an outlet located within the upper portion thereof, a generally rounded peripheral side wall and a U-shaped conduit extending downwardly into the lower portion of the vessel. One end of the conduit is connected to the outlet and the other end is open to the interior of the vessel. A generally funnel-shaped bleed-through orifice in the lowermost portion of the conduit causes liquid refrigerant and oil to be drawn into the stream of gaseous refrigerant flowing through the conduit. A baffle interposed between the inlet and outlet of the vessel has a peripheral portion positioned below the inlet which is spaced slightly from the side wall so as to cause swirling movement of the incoming refrigerant in close proximity to the side wall of the vessel.
