Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83136
Keep your air conditioning clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator 33174. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1993 Ford Aerostar (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). Positioned on the low-pressure side of the A/C system, the accumulator stores refrigerant and uses an internal desiccant to absorb moisture while filtering out contaminants that can't be cleared by flushing — which is why it should be replaced whenever the system is opened or serviced.
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours, leaving the accumulator ineffective, so a fresh unit is recommended any time the A/C is serviced. Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is also required to validate many compressor warranties. Backed by Four Seasons' decades of mobile A/C experience.
What does this A/C accumulator do?
It stores refrigerant on the low-pressure side and uses an internal desiccant to absorb moisture and help filter contaminants from the A/C system.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1993 Ford Aerostar. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details and confirm fitment for your vehicle.
Are gaskets and o-rings 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 any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, since contaminants and absorbed moisture cannot be removed by flushing.
Why does a leaking system ruin the accumulator?
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, which makes the accumulator/filter drier ineffective.
