Abstract
In a vehicle air conditioning system, an accumulator-dehydrator including a cylindrical housing with an upstanding standpipe located on the principal axis incorporating an improved plastic baffle having a generally frusto-conical skirt portion and an integral securing portion depending from the baffle closed upper end. The securing portion is spider-like in cross section, providing three spaced upwardly tapered webs each of which supports a vertically extending arcuate rib portion providing a press fit with the standpipe. Each rib terminates in a stop shoulder portion operative to seat on the standpipe open end to define passageways allowing vaporous refrigerant to flow upwardly along the baffle inner wall into the standpipe open end.
