Lexus RX350 A/C Accumulator

Lexus RX350 A/C Accumulator is the cooling circuit's gatekeeper that removes moisture and grit from the refrigerant before it returns to the compressor, which is a crucial job that keeps the cabin air crisp and under a steady amount of pressure. This cylinder-shaped canister rests on the low pressure line between evaporator and compressor where an internal desiccant bag mops up any water while screens imprison any debris, a process the A/C Accumulator repeats every second the system runs. Since even small droplets of water can freeze, expand, and destroy components, every RX350 relies on a properly functioning A/C Accumulator to prevent ice formation and oil dilution. Over the years, two related moisture managers have been installed by Lexus, a standalone A/C Accumulator on models using an expansion valve and a receiver drier in the high pressure liquid line on select RX350 versions with an orifice tube, the main difference being the state of refrigerant they filter and their mounting positions. When contamination has occurred, Lexus recommends complete substitution of the A/C Accumulator because flushing cannot remove the embedded desiccant in order to provide long term comfort for every Lexus driver and modern RX350 cabins.

Should you need to purchase new auto parts for your vehicle, we strongly suggest you consider the genuine Lexus RX350 A/C Accumulator available on LexusPartsNow.com.
