OPERATION





The Receiver/Drier (5) performs a filtering action to prevent foreign material in the refrigerant from contaminating the Expansion Valve (3). A desiccant bag is mounted inside the Receiver/Drier canister (5) to absorb any moisture which may have entered and become trapped within the refrigerant system. In addition, during periods of high demand A/C operation, the Receiver/Drier (5) acts as a reservoir to store surplus refrigerant. Refrigerant enters the Receiver/Drier (5) as a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid from the Condenser (6).
