DESCRIPTION
The A/C receiver/drier (1) is positioned in the high-side of the A/C system and is integral to the left side of the A/C condenser (2). The A/C receiver/drier stores any unused refrigerant, filters the refrigerant, helps remove moisture from the refrigerant and retains any refrigerant vapor that may leave the A/C condenser until it becomes a liquid. The A/C receiver/drier contains a desiccant and filter assembly (3) that is serviceable.
The replaceable desiccant and filter assembly within the A/C receiver/drier consists of a plastic housing (1) which contains a pre-measured amount of desiccant and a filter screen (2). A rubber O-ring (3) is used to seal the assembly to the receiver/drier bottle.
