Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:33172
Keep your air conditioning system clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 33061. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1997 Ford Aerostar — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage. On accumulator-style A/C systems, this component sits on the low-pressure side, where it stores refrigerant and uses a desiccant to pull moisture and circulating contaminants out of the system.
Because the desiccant can only hold so much moisture, service guidelines call for replacing the accumulator / filter drier any time the system is opened, and replacement is required to validate a compressor warranty. Backed by Four Seasons' decades of mobile A/C experience and built in an ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001 certified facility.
What does an A/C accumulator do?
It stores refrigerant on the low-pressure side and uses a desiccant to remove moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system, protecting other A/C components.
Does this accumulator come with seals?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to help with installation.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1997 Ford Aerostar. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your specific vehicle.
Do I need to replace the accumulator when servicing the A/C?
Service guidelines call for replacing the accumulator / filter drier any time the system is opened, since the desiccant can become saturated and it is required to validate a compressor warranty.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
Flushing cannot remove moisture and certain contaminants, so replacing the accumulator / filter drier is the way to clear them from the system.
