Abstract:
An accumulator includes a tank, a desiccant, a suction pipe. The tank is configured to separate a refrigerant flowing therein into a gas-phase refrigerant and a liquid-phase refrigerant, store the liquid-phase refrigerant in the tank, and discharge the gas-phase refrigerant toward a suction side of a compressor. The desiccant is accommodated in a container and removing moisture in the refrigerant. The suction pipe is provided inside the tank and having a suction port through which the gas-phase refrigerant is sucked into the suction pipe. The desiccant is provided inside the suction pipe. According to this accumulator, a bumping due to the desiccant and an increase in size of the tank can be suppressed.
