Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83227
Keep your A/C system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator 33175, a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1993 Ford Aerostar (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine applications). The accumulator/filter drier works on the low-pressure side of the air conditioning system, using a desiccant bag to remove moisture and trap contaminants that flushing alone can't clear — which is why it's replaced whenever the system is opened or serviced.
A leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator/filter drier ineffective. Replacing this component is also required to validate many compressor warranties, so it should be renewed anytime the A/C system is serviced or a compressor is replaced.
What does this accumulator do?
It acts as a filter drier on the A/C system, using a desiccant bag to absorb moisture and trap contaminants that flushing cannot remove.
Does it fit my vehicle?
This is a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1993 Ford Aerostar. Check the Buyer's Guide tab and confirm fitment for your vehicle.
Are seals included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to help with installation.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced, and replacement is required to validate many compressor warranties.
Why can't I just flush the system instead?
Flushing cannot remove the moisture and contaminants the desiccant captures, so replacing the accumulator/filter drier is essential when servicing the system.
