Abstract
A compressor and suction accumulator assembly wherein the suction accumulator is mounted on the casing of the compressor. The accumulator includes a cylindrical casing having two end walls. A first end wall includes an inlet aperture and the second end wall includes an outlet aperture. The second end wall is circular and substantially flat and has a thickness greater than the casing of the accumulator. The outlet aperture in the circular second end wall is spaced radially outwardly from the center of the second end wall near the periphery thereof and is spaced further outwardly from the compressor casing than the center of the circular end wall. A suction tube extends through the outlet aperture into the accumulator casing and is bent inwardly toward the center of the accumulator casing whereby the inlet opening of the suction tube is disposed coaxially with the cylindrical casing of the accumulator. The other end of the suction tube is bent at right angles with respect to the first end and extends into the compressor casing. The assembly may also further include a screen dispose between the inlet and outlet apertures of the accumulator casing.
