Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly,A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose P/N:55278
Keep your A/C blowing cold and protect the compressor with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose (MPN 83015). This accumulator / filter drier sits on the suction side, where it removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant that flushing alone cannot clear. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — including the 1997-1998 Ford Club Wagon, 1997-2006 Ford E150 Van, E250 Van and E350 Series Van, 2002-2006 Ford E-150, 1997-2002 Ford E-150 Econoline and many more; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list, and note it services both front and rear A/C circuits where equipped.
Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is opened or serviced.
What does this accumulator / filter drier do?
It sits on the A/C suction side and uses a desiccant bag to absorb moisture while filtering out contaminants the refrigerant carries — protecting the compressor and other components.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed Ford vans and E-Series applications, such as the 1997-2006 E150 Van and 2002-2006 E-150. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make and model.
Are gaskets and o-rings included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for installation.
Do I need to replace this when servicing the A/C?
Replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is opened or serviced, since a saturated desiccant bag becomes ineffective.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
Flushing cannot remove the moisture and contaminants trapped in the accumulator / filter drier, so replacing the unit is the recommended way to clean up the system.
