Mounted on the condenser side of the refrigerant circuit, it traps liquid refrigerant during defrost and low-load conditions and meters it back to the compressor as vapor — a critical safeguard against liquid slugging that can destroy compressor valves and bearings. If your unit is short-cycling, showing compressor damage, or you are performing a compressor changeout, replacing the accumulator is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1226207\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suction-line \/ condenser accumulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goodman\/Amana APH1342M41CA heat pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Packaged Heat Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel canister with internal pickup tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazed\/sweat fittings (factory spec)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003egenuine OEM Goodman\u003c\/strong\u003e accumulator built to the exact internal volume and pickup-tube geometry the APH1342M41CA circuit was designed around.
