Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:33155
Keep moisture and contaminants out of your A/C system with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 33094. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-2002 Ford Escort and 1994-1999 Mercury Tracer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific applications.
Positioned on the low-pressure side, the accumulator/filter drier stores refrigerant and uses a desiccant bag to pull moisture from the system while its filter traps contaminants that flushing cannot remove. Because those contaminants stay in the system otherwise, replacing this component during any A/C service is standard practice.
Four Seasons notes that replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and that it should be replaced whenever the system is opened or serviced. A saturated desiccant bag can leave the unit unable to absorb moisture effectively.
What does this A/C accumulator do?
It stores refrigerant on the low-pressure side and uses a desiccant bag to remove moisture, while its filter traps contaminants that can't be flushed out of the system.
Which vehicles does MPN 33094 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-2002 Ford Escort and 1994-1999 Mercury Tracer. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Are seals included?
Yes. Four Seasons includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal to help with installation.
Should I replace the accumulator when servicing the A/C?
Four Seasons states it should be replaced anytime the system is opened or serviced, and replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty.
Why can't the old accumulator just be flushed?
The contaminants and saturated desiccant it holds cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the accumulator/filter drier is essential when servicing the system.
