How to install the A/C Accumulator (ACDelco P/N 151697) on Chevrolet Corvette?

The A/C Accumulator (ACDelco P/N 151697) requires installation with the recovery of refrigerant from your A/C system through the Halogen Leak Detector (J 39400-A). Before cutting the plastic insulation you must measure 420 mm (16.5 in) starting from the condenser end of the front evaporator tube. Stand beside a tubing cutter to cut the tube and after use, mark and cut it at 400 mm (15.7 in) and 450 mm (17.7 in) while keeping metal shavings out of the tube. Removing all burrs from cut ends you need to extract O-rings from the A/C accumulator. The evaporator tube receives the first flare nut along with the first ferrule with the tapered end pointing toward the flare nut, followed by installation of the A/C accumulator to the evaporator tube where the arrow should be facing the evaporator unit and must be fully seated. The flap nut requires tightening force of 15 N.m (11 lb ft). The A/C accumulator should next be removed from the second evaporator tube half before loosening its flare nuts. Apply lubrication to each end of the evaporator tube where O-rings will be installed and place the accumulator back onto its position by fully seating it before tightening flare nuts to 15 N.m (11 lb ft). After installing the front evaporator tube perform an A/C system evacuation and recharge before testing the fittings through Halogen Leak Detector (J 39400-A).

A/C Accumulator in Chevrolet Corvette is an important part of vehicle's cooling system which enhances the efficiency of the cars cooling system. This kind of component is this cylinder-shaped and it is usually located between the evaporator and the compressor where it acts as a receiver-dryer to eliminate moisture, oil, and debris. Thus, filtering these contaminants, the A/C Accumulator protects the system from damages and maintains high efficiency. As can be seen from the above Corvette air conditioning images, over the years different styles of A/C Accumulators have been integrated into Corvettes to improve on the air conditioning systems. While specific differences between these types are not detailed, the primary function remains consistent: to protect the cooling system from other materials which are not wanted in the process. This necessary component is crucial to keeping the Corvette's A/C operating in the long term and without failure.
