How to remove and install the A/C Accumulator on a Hyundai Accent?

To replace the accumulator/Receiver-drier on models ranging from 1986-1989 and 1995 onwards use a receiver-drier, while 1990-1994 models use an accumulator. For 1986-1999 models, removal involves unplugging the pressure switch connector, detaching the refrigerant lines, and removing the accumulator or receiver-drier. Installation requires fitting new O-rings on the lines, lubricating them, and installing them. Replacement involves replacing the desiccant bag, removing the condenser, unscrewing the threaded plug, and removing the filter and old desiccant bag. The system should be evacuated, recharged, and leak-tested after installation.

Hyundai Accent A/C Accumulator

The Hyundai Accent A/C Accumulator protects the cabin cooling system by removing moisture and grit before the refrigerant returns to the compressor. Housed in the low pressure line between the evaporator and compressor, the A/C Accumulator contains a desiccant bag that soaks up water and is internally equipped with a screen that traps metallic specks. By gathering stray oil and debris, the A/C Accumulator prevents the compressor from ingesting sludge and thus allows less wear and tear, keeping your Hyundai nice and cool on even the hot afternoons. Many Accent cars using an orifice tube are built on this cylinder, but versions fitted with a thermal expansion valve have a receiver drier located in the high side liquid line, so Hyundai owners have two different moisture control configurations through the years. The receiver drier does the same job of dehydration, but its location and smaller capacity differ while the A/C Accumulator in the Accent system provides additional storage space for excess refrigerant after the evaporator, which is a desired feature on many later Accent models. Whenever the sealed bag becomes saturated or contaminated, replacing the A/C Accumulator prevents lingering water from corroding delicate passages and keeps Hyundai cooling performance crisp.

If you are looking for affordable high-quality OEM Hyundai Accent A/C Accumulator, then you have come to the prime place. Our website provides a large amount of genuine Hyundai Accent A/C Accumulator at unbeatable prices. All our parts come backed with the manufacturer's warranty.
