A LOOK AT SERVICE SAFETY

Liquid floodback can be prevented by the application
of a properly designed and sized suction line accumula-
tor (see Figures 6-13 and 6-14 below and “Accumulator
Selection Data” on page 118). Tecumseh engineers have
designed a suction line accumulator available in eight
basic sizes covering a full range of system applications
and refrigerants. When properly selected based upon
system charge, a suction line accumulator will improve
compressor reliability and endurance by preventing
damaging liquid refrigerant floodback. Note that liquid
refrigerant accumulation in the compressor can also be
caused by liquid migration to the compressor during
periods of shutdown. This condition can be controlled
by the application of a crankcase heater. A suction line
accumulator does nothing to prevent liquid migration
and a crankcase heater does nothing to prevent liquid
floodback. Each without the other is half a job—both
together provided balanced compressor protection.
