Accumulator for an air conditioning system

摘要

An accumulator (10) for use in an automobile, has an inner housing (14) located within an outer housing (12). The inner housing (14) has a channel formed therein, such that a fluid-tight flow path which goes down one side across the bottom and back up the other side to an exit orifice is defined. A cap (18) having inlet and outlet orifices (87,89) therethrough is secured to the outer housing (12) and seals both the inner (14) and the outer housings (12) to prevent any leakage of any fluid. <IMAGE>
