Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation

RECEIVER DRIER

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

The receiver/drier is mounted to the right of the radiator support. It stores high-pressure liquid after it leaves the condenser core. A desiccant bag mounted inside the receiver/drier removes any retained moisture from the refrigerant.
