PURPOSE: An accumulator integrally assembled with a receiver tank is provided to compact a cooling system by reducing the space of an accumulator and a receiver tank, and to improve efficiency of heat exchange between refrigerant according to cooling cycle. CONSTITUTION: An accumulator(10) integrally assembled with a receiver tank is composed of an accumulator part(12) having an inlet pipe(13) and an outlet pipe(14); a receiver tank part(15) having an inlet pipe(16) and an outlet pipe(17); and a partition wall(11) formed vertically between the accumulator part and the receiver tank part. Low temperature and pressure liquid refrigerant through the accumulator is evaporated with heat of high temperature and pressure liquid refrigerant through the receiver tank, and low temperature and pressure gas refrigerant through the accumulator is moved into a compressor without changes of phase. The compressor is prevented from being damaged, and cooling cycle is stabilized. Heat exchange protrusions are formed in the partition wall, and heat exchange efficiency between the accumulator and the receiver tank is improved with enlarging the surface area of the partition wall.
