Suction accumulator must be used in systems having parallel compressors, two stage compressors, hot gas defrost, heat pump, transport refrigeration or any system having longer pipe line. It prevents compressor from liquid entering the suction port of compressor and assures that only vapor refrigerant gets through to the compressor. Special designs such as U-tube and tube-in-tube are used for maximum refrigerant flow and minimum oil trap. These designs allow vapor refrigerant to pass, while oil and liquid refrigerant trapped in suction line accumulator are sucked from the hole on the outlet tube and return to the compressor together with refrigerant vapor.

In applications with very low evaporation temperature suction line accumulator with built in heat-exchanger is used in order to facilitate evaporation of liquid refrigerant or to reduce oil viscosity and
provide fluent refrigerant flow.
