Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation

RECEIVER/DRYER




The receiver/dryer has the three roles as described below:
A. The receiver serves as a temporary storage container of condenser-liquefied refrigerant so that it is possible to supply the evaporator with the condenser-liquefied refrigerant just conforming to the demand of the cooling load.
B. The dryer serves to remove the dirt and water mixed in the cycling refrigerant by means of the filter and desiccant sealed therein.
C. The sight glass, installed atop the receiver, serves to look at thereby the flowing state of the refrigerant.
