Carrier KH71KJ150 Suction Line Accumulator

The Carrier KH71KJ150 is a genuine OEM suction line accumulator designed to protect HVAC compressors from liquid refrigerant damage. This critical component installs in the suction line between the evaporator and compressor to prevent liquid refrigerant floodback that can cause catastrophic compressor failure.

Key Features:

• Prevents liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor during normal operation and system transients
• Internal U-tube design separates liquid refrigerant from vapor, allowing only gas to reach the compressor
• Small metering orifice at the bottom of the U-tube ensures controlled oil return to the compressor for proper lubrication
• Screened orifice prevents debris from blocking oil return path
• Temporary reservoir holds excess liquid refrigerant and meters it back to the system at a safe rate
• Essential protection for heat pumps, systems with defrost cycles, and applications prone to liquid slugging

This accumulator is engineered to Carrier's exacting specifications for durability and reliable performance in residential and commercial HVAC applications. Proper installation in a vertical position near the compressor ensures optimal system protection and longevity.
