Front A/C Receiver Drier - Description

DESCRIPTION





The A/C receiver/drier (1) stores unnecessary 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 is connected between the front section of the A/C liquid line (4) and the rear section of the A/C liquid line (2) between the condenser outlet and the evaporator inlet.

The A/C receiver/drier consists of a metal housing containing desiccant and a filter. An integral mounting bracket (5) allows the A/C receiver/drier to be secured to the right front frame rail in the engine compartment. The A/C pressure transducer (3) is installed on the rear section of the A/C liquid line, at the top of A/C receiver/drier.
