Sporlan 470111 Accumulator

Sporlan 470111 Accumulator

The Sporlan 470111, model VPA589-7SRD, is a heavy-duty suction line accumulator engineered to provide critical compressor protection in commercial refrigeration and heat pump systems. Design-built for field durability, this 7/8" ODF connection component utilizes a specialized "U" tube design to facilitate maximum refrigerant flow while maintaining a low pressure drop. The internal assembly includes an inlet flow deflector that directs incoming refrigerant tangentially against the vessel wall, ensuring gradual expansion and preventing raw liquid from directly entering the "U" tube.

For high-performance oil management, the VPA589-7SRD features a metering orifice protected by a fine 50 x 60 mesh screen to prevent debris from clogging the oil return path. This unit is rated for a 355 psig design pressure and is compatible with modern refrigerants, including R-410A and R-22. With a holding capacity of approximately 87 oz for R-410A at 40°F, it is a reliable choice for preventing liquid slugging during defrost cycles or low-load conditions. The solid copper connections allow for easy brazing into the suction line, ensuring a leak-free installation for service contractors.

Key Benefits:
  • Compressor Protection: Effectively traps liquid refrigerant to prevent slugging and catastrophic valve failure.
  • Optimized Oil Return: Features a screened metering orifice to ensure consistent compressor lubrication without excessive refrigerant dilution.
  • Low Pressure Drop: The high-flow "U" tube geometry minimizes efficiency losses across the suction line.
  • Durable Construction: Powder-coated steel shell exceeds ASTM 500-hour salt spray testing for superior corrosion resistance.
  • Safety Integrated: Includes an integral 430°F fusible plug to protect against over-pressurization in extreme temperature environments.
Common Questions:

Where should the Sporlan 470111 be installed?
It must be installed vertically in the suction line, as close to the compressor as possible, between the evaporator and the compressor inlet.

Is this accumulator suitable for heat pump applications?
Yes, the VPA589-7SRD is specifically designed to handle the rapid flow reversals and refrigerant shifts common in heat pump defrost cycles.

How do I size this for my system charge?
Generally, an accumulator should be sized to hold 50% of the total system charge for TXV systems and up to 70% for fixed-orifice systems to ensure adequate liquid containment.
