RECEIVER/DRIER

Purpose

• The receiver/drier supplies a stable amount of purified, complete liquid refrigerant to the expansion valve.

Function

• The receiver/drier temporarily stores refrigerant and extracts only liquid refrigerant. As a result, outflow to the expansion valve of refrigerant, which could not be liquefied completely by the condenser, is prevented, and the discharge pulsation of the A/C compressor is stopped.

  

• The refrigerant is purified and moisture is eliminated by desiccant in the receiver/drier and strainer.

Fail-safe

• Function not equipped.
