An accumulator is provided for use with a vehicle air conditioning system. The accumulator comprises a housing having first and second sections, an outlet tube integral with the second section, and a desiccant container. Inlet and outlet openings are formed in the housing through which refrigerant enters and exits the interior chamber defined by the housing. The outlet tube extends from the outlet opening into the interior chamber and terminates in a free end. The desiccant container is mounted in the interior chamber between the housing and the free end of the outlet tube to define a first path between the housing and the desiccant container through which incoming refrigerant may flow. The desiccant container also has a second path therethrough through which incoming refrigerant may flow.
