Abstract
An accumulator dehydrator is disclosed having a deflector for directing the flow of refrigerant into the dehydrator, said deflector formed of sheet metal, and permanently secured in operative position by component parts of the accumulator dehydrator. The deflector is provided with a planar body portion which is disposed at an angle to the flow of the incoming refrigerant, and is provided with flanges which inhibit lateral flow of the refrigerant. The deflector is also provided with a portion of arcuate configuration, which is clamped to the accumulator dehydrator in a manner which prevents movement in any direction relatively to the accumulator dehydrator.
