HVAC Liquid Receiver for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Systems
Our HVAC liquid receivers, also known as refrigeration liquid receivers or refrigerant receiver tanks, are designed to store liquid refrigerant in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Installed after the condenser, the liquid receiver ensures that a stable supply of liquid refrigerant is delivered to the expansion device while allowing the system to operate efficiently under varying load conditions.
KAK manufactures high-quality vertical liquid receivers for commercial HVAC equipment, refrigeration systems, heat pumps, and industrial cooling applications. Our receivers are designed with durable construction, reliable sealing, and flexible connection options to meet different system requirements.
Product Overview
A liquid receiver is an essential component in refrigeration systems. It stores liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser and maintains adequate refrigerant supply to the expansion valve. During maintenance or system load changes, the receiver also provides temporary refrigerant storage, helping ensure stable system performance.
Our receivers are typically supplied in a vertical configuration, with connection ports designed for easy installation in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Additional accessories such as sight glass, support feet, and safety valve connections can be provided depending on the application.

FAQ
What is the function of a liquid receiver in an HVAC system?
A liquid receiver stores liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser and ensures that only liquid refrigerant enters the liquid line and expansion device. It also provides refrigerant storage during system load changes or maintenance.
What refrigerants are compatible with the liquid receiver?
Our receivers are compatible with common refrigerants such as R22, R134a, R407C, R410A, R404A, and other commonly used refrigerants together with their refrigeration oils.
What is the maximum allowable working pressure?
The maximum allowable working pressure is 35 bar with a burst pressure of 190 bar. Custom pressure ratings can be designed according to system requirements.
Are vertical and horizontal receivers available?
Vertical liquid receivers are available as standard products. Horizontal receivers or special designs can also be manufactured based on customer drawings and project requirements.
What information is required to select a suitable liquid receiver?
To recommend a suitable model we usually need the refrigerant type, system capacity, receiver volume requirement, connection size, operating pressure, and installation space limitations.
Can the liquid receiver be customized?
Yes. Volume, dimensions, connection size, coating, and structural design can be customized according to customer specifications.
