Best Answer

In an air conditioning system which uses a Fixed Orifice Tube, the accumulator is located on the low pressure (vacuum) side, between the evaporator outlet and the compressor inlet. The accumulator ensures that all the refrigerant which goes into the compressor inlet is in a vapor state, and prevents any refrigerant which is still in a liquid state from getting through.

Assuming 2 was already in one accumulator and 2 was already in another accumulator and the two accumulators were wired together for addition, 200 microseconds (one addition cycle).

If the numbers are not already in those accumulators more cycles (and wiring) will be needed to get them there.
