The accumulator is a component on the low pressure (vacuum) side of an air conditioning system which uses a fixed orifice tube - they won't be found on a Thermal Expansion Valve system.

Where do you add freon in a 1997 dodge ram 1500 5.2L?
System does not contain Freon. R134a refrigerant is added through the low side service port on the accumulator.
What are accumulators?
In an air conditioning system which uses a Fixed Orifice Tube, the accumulator is located on the low pressure (vacuum) side, between the evaporator outlet and the compressor inlet. The accumulator ensures that all the refrigerant which goes into the compressor inlet is in a vapor state, and prevents any refrigerant which is still in a liquid state from getting through.
Where is the low side service port on a Chevrolet Corvette?
You did not give the year so I will assume a newer one. The low side fitting is normally on the accumulator. If your system has R134A refrigerant do not use any that has stop leak in it. That will ruin a shops equipment.
How is the refrigerant cylinder pressure kept above the system pressure when a system is being charged with vapor from the cylinder?
Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side
How is the refrigerant cylinder pressure kept above the system pressure when a system is being charged with the vapor from a cylinder?
Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side

What is an AC compressor?
Commonly referred to as the heart of the system, the compressor is a belt driven pump that is fastened to the engine. It is responsible for compressing and transferring refrigerant gas. The a/c system is split into two sides, a high pressure side and a low pressure side; defined as discharge and suction. Since the compressor is basically a pump, it must have a intake side and a discharge side. The intake, or suction side, draws in refrigerant gas from the outlet of the evaporator. In some cases it does this via the accumulator.
Low pressure port ac system 1997 ford explorer?
The Low side port is located on the accumulator, there is a plastic cap on it. The accumulator is the metal "can" near the firewall on the passenger side.
When charging a refrigeration system you add refrigerant on the low side or the high side?
Low
Are refrigerant temperatures and pressures in the cooling mode of a heat pump about the same in both the suction side and the discharge side of the system?
Yes refrigerant temperatures and pressures in the cooling mode of a heat pump is the same. They are both in the suction side and the discharge side of the system.
Where is the low port for recharging refrigerant in a 1989 Ford Tempo?
On my 88 Tempo, it's in the rear passenger side corner on the return line of the accumulator. (next to the low pressure switch)
Why is the high side of your ac high?
One possibility is excessive refrigerant in the system.
