Copeland 577-0420-05 Receiver
The Copeland 577-0420-05 Liquid Receiver is a critical refrigerant storage tank engineered for precise management of liquid-side fluctuations in high-demand refrigeration and HVAC systems. Designed with a substantial 19 lb refrigerant capacity, this liquid receiver assembly acts as a thermal buffer, ensuring a steady supply of liquid refrigerant reaches the expansion device during varying load conditions. For service contractors, the Copeland 577-0420-05 serves as a direct replacement component that stabilizes head pressure and protects the compressor by preventing gas from entering the liquid line.
Built with heavy-duty steel and featuring 1/2" stud inlet and outlet connections, this receiver is optimized for commercial refrigeration systems and industrial HVAC units. Its durable construction includes specialized copper tubing, steel stem caps, and rubber seal plugs to maintain integrity in high-pressure environments. Measuring 20.1 inches in length and weighing 16.35 lbs, this HVAC liquid receiver is an essential OEM part for maintaining high-efficiency cycles and protecting system components from premature wear.

- Rugged OEM Construction: Fabricated with steel and high-grade copper for long-term reliability in industrial cooling equipment.
- Simplified Integration: Equipped with standard 1/2 inch connections for seamless replacement in HVAC condensing units.
- Secure Sealing: Features a rubber seal plug and steel stem caps to ensure leak-proof performance under standard operating pressures.
Common Questions
What is the primary function of the liquid receiver in a refrigeration cycle?
The receiver serves as a reservoir to store surplus refrigerant during periods of low heat load, ensuring that only pure liquid refrigerant enters the liquid line for distribution to the expansion valve.
Can this receiver be used with high-pressure refrigerants?
Yes, this Copeland 577-0420-05 is designed to meet the high-pressure demands of modern HP and LP refrigeration applications, though specific pressure ratings should be verified against your system’s design data.
Is this unit suitable for pump-down operations?
Absolutely. With a 19 lb capacity, it is specifically designed to hold the total system charge during pump-down procedures for maintenance or seasonal transitions in commercial cooling setups.
