NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.

The A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
^ A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core inlet tube and then moves out of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
^ This flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator core.
^ A new evaporator core cannot be installed without the installation of a new evaporator housing.
