Re: do u need an accumulator on a chiller?
Accumulators are needed where reduction in heat load can result in floodback to the compressor. On most systems they are not needed... so the answers to your questions are: maybe and maybe.

Re: do u need an accumulator on a chiller?
On a water chiller, it is seldom used. I can say that none of the primary chiller manufacturers I know of install accumulators on the suction.

Load variation is main issue. Most chiller manufacturers do it out of abudent pre-caution against floodback since load variation is out of their control when chiller is delivered to customer.

It is used for safety purpose. If there is a variable load on evaporator accumulator is used. For small capacity water chiller accumulator is rarely used. To omit accumulator, u use thermostatic expansion valve, to feed the evaporator according to load.

If you are talking of Water / brine chiller accumulators are not needed.
If it is cold room refrigeration system accumulators may be required.
