The accumulator is a component in a compressor system that acts as a storage tank for liquid refrigerant. It helps ensure the flow of liquid refrigerant to the compressor, preventing any potential damage that could be caused by excessive amounts of refrigerant reaching the compressor. The accumulator also helps in separating any liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant vapor.

What size electric motor do you need to run an air compressor I have a furnace blower motor. Would that be suitable or do I need a heavier duty one?

It would all depend on the size of the compressor. If it's a small one(like for an airbrush gun) it might just work, but if it's a compressor to power impact wrenches or similar it'd probably not work.

It is simply a piston compressor.


What does a hydraulic accumulator do with energy?

A hydraulic accumulator contains a bladder filled with a compressible gas, usually nitrogen. The pressure of the gas in the bladder is known as the pre-charge, and will vary based on the ambient temperature. Hydraulic oil is pumped into the accumulator but outside of the bladder. As the oil is pumped in, the bladder compresses, which exerts a force on the oil. There is usually an pressure transducer in the system which will signal the hydraulic pump to turn off when a certain oil pressure is reached in the accumulator. A hydraulic accumulator can have several uses. It can be used to store hydraulic pressure for later use. It can be also used as a type of "shock absorber" for hydraulic systems.


What is the purpose of an evaporator in the refrigeration cycle is to?

The purpose of the evaporator in the refrigeration cycle is to absorb heat from the space being cooled, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and turn into a gas. This process cools the air inside the space and allows the refrigerant to carry the absorbed heat to the compressor for further processing.


What is shock in compressor?

Shock in a compressor refers to the sudden increase in pressure due to a rapid change in operating conditions, such as starting and stopping the compressor suddenly. This can cause mechanical damage and reduce the lifespan of the compressor. Proper control and gradual changes in operating conditions help prevent shock in a compressor.

An accumulator does just that...accumulates liquid refrigerant to keep from flooding the expansion valve or compressor. It can also be used as a muffler on compressor noise.

Why does air blow out of the accumulator instead of sucking the air in with the compressor engaged?

Assuming that nothing has been changed you're not looking at the accumulator. The aluminum cylinder on the output side of the compressor is a muffler designed to prevent hammering from the compressor being audible in the passenger compartment.


I have a 1994 ford aerostar had a new compressor orfice tube and accumulator installed last summernow my compressor wont work and i cant get it to except freon on the low side?

Make sure your clutch is engaged on the compressor. you can usually do this with a metal paper clip in cycle switch, on the accumulator.

Yes and no. You can use it as a general purpose register, but if you do that, you will lose the ability to perform arithmetic and logical computations and comparisons that would normally use the accumulator.
