Receiver Drier

Receiver drier

Receiver Drier:

The receiver drier removes moisture and solid impurities from the refrigerant and also acts as a refrigerant reservoir.

The receiver drier is clamped to a bracket in front of the condenser. The receiver drier housing is manufactured in aluminium and contains a desiccant to absorb moisture. A mesh screen in the housing removes solid impurities. Inlet, outlet and dual pressure switch connections are located in the top of the housing.

Liquid refrigerant enters the receiver drier, passes through the desiccant and mesh screen, and through a tube to the outlet connection.
