Zusammenfassung:The present invention is for an accumulator for an air-conditioning system wherein the accumulator has fewer parts, is more effective, and is easier and cheaper to manufacture. It reduces flooding due to greater effective interna l volume, better evaporator, an integral baffle, and controlled thermal properties. Further, the inlet fluid separation can be controlled, and it has greater control of the amount of compressor oil in circulation and adjustable coupling between the interior a nd the outlet passage. It can also accommodate desiccating material in many orientations, and can be made of various materials. The accumulator embodies an outer housing of two or more pieces and an inner liner that is of one or more pieces. The inlet directs the refrigerant into the inner volume formed by the liner, wherein t he liquid refrigerant and compressor oil are contained and insulated from the wall of the outer housing.
