How to Service the A/C Accumulator in the HVAC System on Ford Ranger?

Starting the suction accumulator service in HVAC requires first recovering the refrigerant. Start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the A/C cycling switch while performing line removal with a dual-function wrench then discard used O-ring seals. The suction accumulator bracket holds in place through three screws which need removal for extraction of the suction accumulator itself. To install the suction accumulator follow the backward order of uninstallation then transfer the A/C cycling switch to the accumulator during a new installation process. The refrigerant system requires a proper amount of clean PAG refrigerant compressor oil F7AZ-19D589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or an equivalent which matches Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B along with new O-ring seals pre-lubricated in clean mineral oil. Evacuate the refrigerant system next after which you should perform leak tests followed by system charging.

The A/C Accumulator in Ford Ranger cars plays an important role in keeping the conditioner effective and lasting for a long time. Its main purpose is to prevent accumulation of dirt and water which serves as a cover for sub parts of the A/C system. This is a cylindrical element having openings leading to the condenser and the expansion valve to enable the flow of the refrigerant and at the same time filter dirt. In all the ranger models, there might have been changes to the use of different types of A/C Accumulator in the previous years, although specific types are not noted. The relative major differences between these styles are mainly in terms of their construction and integration into the A/C system of the vehicle involved. In general, the A/C Receiver Drier plays a critical role of enhancing the effectiveness as well as reliability of air conditioning mechanism in Ford Ranger automobiles.
