ABSTRACT:
A suction accumulator including a casing for defining a liquid storage vessel. The casing includes an upper and lower end cap. A baffle is disposed in an upper portion of the casing adjacent the upper end cap whereby refrigerant flowing into the inlet will be deflected by the baffle from an axial entry direction to flow in a horizontal plane and will be confined by the baffle until the fluid flows generally tangentially to the casing wall. At this point, the fluid leaves the baffle and flows into the liquid storage vessel. An elongated conduit is disposed in the casing whereby gaseous refrigerant flows through a tortuous path to enter the conduit and then flows through the conduit to the fluid outlet of the suction accumulator. The baffle and conduit may be molded or extruded from plastic material.
