Abstract
A collector for a liquid phase of a working medium of an air-conditioning system has a one-piece collecting container with a solid upper end wall and thickened base region for coupling blocks of a high-pressure piping system and a device for emergency emptying. Flow through an upper region of the collecting container takes place in cyclone fashion starting from an inflow channel, whose outflow direction is tangential to the inner surface of the collecting container whereas the outflow from the collecting container takes place via an end piece of a piping system arranged centrally in the collecting container.
