Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83296
Keep moisture and debris out of your air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 83227. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000 Pontiac Montana, 2000 Chevrolet Venture, and 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment. Positioned on the low-pressure side, the accumulator/filter drier stores refrigerant, separates any liquid from the vapor headed to the compressor, and uses a desiccant to trap moisture and contaminants that flushing alone can't remove.
If the original accumulator/filter drier has become saturated or the system has been opened, replacing this component is a required step whenever the A/C system is serviced, and it helps validate the compressor warranty.
What does the A/C accumulator do?
It stores refrigerant on the low side, keeps liquid from reaching the compressor, and uses a desiccant to absorb moisture and trap contaminants that can't be flushed from the system.
Which vehicles does MPN 83227 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2000 Pontiac Montana, 2000 Chevrolet Venture, and 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
Are seals included with this accumulator?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included for installation.
When should the accumulator/filter drier be replaced?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced, since a leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours and make the unit ineffective.
Does replacing it help protect the compressor warranty?
Replacing the accumulator/filter drier when servicing the system is required to help validate the compressor warranty and keep contaminants from circulating.
