Abstract
An accumulator insulator bracket for an accumulator in an air conditioning system includes a housing having a cylindrical shape with a first closed end, a second closed end and a wall extending between the first closed end and the second closed end. The housing is longitudinally divided into a first housing member and a second housing member. The accumulator insulating bracket also includes an air flow directing rib extending radially from and axially along an interior portion of the housing wall, such that the rib defines an insulating air pocket between the wall and the accumulator and supports the accumulator.
