I have a long line set run about 55ft on a 5 ton unit with a 20ft elevation difference between the air handler above the condenser outside.
The installer placed an accumulator at the bottom of the 20ft drop before the line goes into the condenser.
The manual called for an oil trap and he installed an accumulator instead. (From what I can tell...)
From what I read that is an incorrect installation of an accumulator. Is it going to hurt anything?
