Carrier KH74HP160 Accumulator
As a veteran tech, you know that keeping liquid out of the scroll or rotary compressor is priority one, especially on heat pump changeouts or low-ambient cooling setups. The Carrier KH74HP160 Accumulator is a 160-cubic-inch suction line safety vessel engineered to trap liquid refrigerant before it can cause slugging or oil dilution. This OEM Carrier replacement part is essential for maintaining the subcooling and superheat balance in R-410A and R-22 systems. It features a high-strength steel shell rated for operating pressures up to 450 psi, ensuring it handles the thermal stress of reversing valve shifts. Whether you are servicing a residential split system or a light commercial unit, the KH74HP160 (which is functionally identical to the KH74HP160A) provides the exact internal U-tube and orifice sizing required for proper oil return. Integrating this suction line accumulator into your repair ensures the compressor remains protected against floodback during defrost cycles or high-load conditions. Stick with factory authorized parts to maintain system engineering specs and ensure long-term reliability in the field.
Key Benefits for HVACR Professionals- Prevents Liquid Slugging: Safeguards internal compressor valves by trapping unevaporated refrigerant in the 160 cu. in. reservoir.
- Optimized Oil Return: Features a precision-drilled metering orifice at the bottom of the internal U-tube to ensure steady lubricant flow back to the crankcase.
- Universal Compatibility: Engineered for use with both R-410A and R-22, making it a versatile stock item for various heat pump and AC generations.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with high-strength steel and bi-metal connections to withstand vibration and high-pressure system spikes.
- Direct OEM Fit: Drop-in replacement for KH74HP160A, reducing field modification time during emergency repairs.
Is the KH74HP160 compatible with older R-22 systems?
Yes, this accumulator is designed for multi-refrigerant applications. It manages the flow rates of both modern R-410A and legacy R-22 systems effectively, provided the connection sizes match your suction line.
What is the difference between KH74HP160 and KH74HP160A?
There is no functional difference; the "A" suffix often denotes a minor manufacturing revision or packaging update. They are 100% interchangeable in all Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment.
Where should this be installed for maximum protection?
For best results, install the Carrier KH74HP160 vertically in the suction line, as close to the compressor as possible. In heat pump systems, it must be located between the reversing valve and the compressor inlet.
Item is Non Cancelable / Non Returnable
