A/C Receiver Drier - Description






DESCRIPTION

NOTE: Gasoline engine model shown. Diesel engine model similar.





The A/C receiver/drier (5) stores unnecessary refrigerant, filters the refrigerant, helps remove moisture from the refrigerant and retains any refrigerant vapor that may leave the A/C condenser (1) until it becomes a liquid. The A/C receiver/drier is on the high-side of the A/C system and is located on the left side of the A/C condenser.

CAUTION: The A/C condenser must be replaced if an internal failure of the A/C compressor has occurred. Failure to replace the A/C condenser can cause serious damage to the replacement A/C compressor Service and Repair .

The A/C receiver/drier is integral to the A/C condenser and must be replaced with the condenser as an assembly.
