Tecumseh 51082-2K Receiver

The Tecumseh 51082-2K Receiver is a high-capacity refrigerant receiver tank engineered for demanding commercial HVACR applications. Built with a robust 6-inch diameter and a 19-inch length, this 480 cu-in liquid receiver provides superior storage volume for refrigeration systems using CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants. Designed for structural integrity, it features a Safe Working Pressure (SWP) of 450 PSIG and is equipped with a 430°F fuse plug for thermal overpressure protection. As a critical OEM replacement part, the Tecumseh 51082-2K ensures a steady head of subcooled liquid reaches the expansion valve, even during significant load variations. Contractors specify this vertical receiver tank for its heavy-duty steel construction and precise fitting alignment, which streamlines field installation and reduces brazing time. Whether you are performing a full system build or a component swap, this HVAC compressor receiver maintains the necessary liquid seal to prevent vapor from entering the liquid line, optimizing overall cycle efficiency and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging.
