The task of a suction line accumulator is to protect compressor specification from so called liquid hammers, which can becaused by the carry over of liquid refrigerant.
The consequence such liquid industrial hammer will be damage the following components:
• Suction Valve
• Discharge Cocks
• Pistons and Connecting Rods
• Gasket
• Industrial bearings
ESK suction line accumulators incorporate the injection principle, which prevents the transport of liquid refrigeration into the compressor, even if the accumulator is filt up with liquid.
