Sporlan 470107 Accumulator

The Sporlan 470107 (Model VA315S) is a high-performance suction line accumulator designed to protect compressors from liquid slugging and excessive refrigerant dilution. Engineered for refrigeration and heat pump systems, this 5/8" ODF unit features a "U" tube design that ensures maximum refrigerant flow while minimizing oil entrapment. The integration of an inlet flow deflector guides incoming refrigerant against the vessel wall, facilitating a smooth tangential flow and gradual expansion to vaporize liquid before it can reach the compressor crankcase.

For technicians and contractors managing HVACR system protection, the VA315S offers a robust solution for maintaining proper oil return via a precisely matched metering orifice. This orifice is sized to balance liquid refrigerant and oil return rates, preventing refrigerant compressor damage during low-load conditions or defrost cycles. Built with solid copper connections and a 3-inch diameter shell, this accumulator is 100% bubble leak tested and rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psig, ensuring reliable performance in demanding field environments.

• Enhanced Compressor Longevity: Prevents liquid slugging by trapping refrigerant and oil for controlled vaporization.
• Optimized Oil Return: Features a "U" tube design with a protected metering orifice for reliable lubricant circulation.
• Reduced Pressure Drop: Inlet flow deflectors and matched fittings maintain system efficiency and high flow rates.
• Contaminant Protection: Includes an internal protective screen to prevent debris from clogging the oil return port.
• Durable Construction: Finished with a powder paint coating capable of withstanding 500 hours of salt spray for corrosion resistance.

Where should the Sporlan VA315S be installed?
It must be installed in the suction line between the evaporator outlet and the compressor inlet to effectively capture liquid refrigerant before it enters the compressor.

Is this accumulator compatible with heat pump systems?
Yes, the Sporlan VA315S is specifically engineered for both refrigeration and heat pump applications, particularly where sudden liquid return is expected.

How do I select the right size for my system?
Selection should be based on the system's total refrigerant charge; systems using a TXV typically require an accumulator with a holding capacity of approximately 50% of the total charge.
