Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:33352
Keep your air conditioning system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 83223. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2005 Buick Park Avenue — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. The accumulator/filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system that flushing cannot clear, which is why replacing it is essential whenever the system is opened or serviced.
Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is serviced. If a saturated or contaminated original accumulator is behind poor A/C performance, this unit replaces it.
What does an A/C accumulator do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system and using a desiccant bag to absorb moisture the system's refrigerant carries.
Does this accumulator fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2005 Buick Park Avenue. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your specific vehicle.
Are gaskets and o-rings included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for installation.
Why should I replace the accumulator when servicing the A/C?
Contaminants and moisture can't be removed by flushing, and a saturated desiccant bag makes the unit ineffective. Replacement is also required to validate the compressor warranty.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
Any time the A/C system is opened or serviced. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, so replacement is recommended.
