Emerson Flow Control (Alco) ODF Refrigerant Accumulator

The Emerson Flow Control (Alco) ODF refrigerant accumulator line gives HVAC and refrigeration systems reliable compressor protection. It is also sold as a suction line accumulator or suction accumulator. It sits in the suction line and holds back excess liquid refrigerant and oil. This keeps liquid from reaching the compressor, which can cause liquid slugging, floodback, and early compressor failure.

Key Features:

• Compressor protection: Stores liquid refrigerant so mostly vapor returns to the compressor, especially during startup, load changes, and defrost cycles.
• Oil return management: The internal design meters oil back to the compressor crankcase to help maintain lubrication.
• ODF sweat connections: Copper ODF (outside diameter, female) connections allow secure, leak-resistant brazed installation in the field.
• Corrosion-resistant finish: The shell has a protective painted finish for durability in demanding mechanical environments.
• Tonnage-rated range: Available in multiple capacities and connection sizes to match different system requirements.

Alco is part of Emerson Flow Control and is known for refrigerant control components. These include expansion valves, solenoid valves, ball valves, and accumulators. Choose the capacity and connection size that matches your system when you select a model.
