Suction Accumulator to Evaporator Line

SUCTION ACCUMULATOR TO EVAPORATOR LINE

Removal and Installation

CAUTION: Refrigerant compressor oil F73Z-19577-AA (Motorcraft YN-9-A) should be used to lubricate R-134a refrigerant system O-ring seals only and should not be added to R-134a refrigerant systems as an A/C compressor lubricant. PAG refrigerant compressor oil F7AZ-19D589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B only should be used as an A/C compressor lubricant.

NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.

1. Recover the refrigerant.







2. Disconnect the spring lock coupling.
- Discard the O-ring seals.







3. Disconnect the spring lock coupling.
- Discard the O-ring seals.

4. Remove the suction accumulator-to-evaporator line.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Install new O-ring seals lubricated in clean mineral oil.
- Lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil.

6. Evacuate, leak test and charge the refrigerant system.
