• Receiver/driers (also sometimes called “filter/driers” or “receiver/dehydrators”) look like small metal cans with an inlet and outlet.

They are usually present between the high pressure and low pressure zone of the working cycle.

Receiver/driers are located in the high-pressure section of the system, usually in the plumbing between the condenser outlet and the expansion valve inlet, although some may be connected directly to the condenser

Most receiver/driers contain a filter that can trap debris that may be inside the A/C system.

Receiver/driers contain a material called desiccant. The desiccant is used to absorb moisture (water) that may have gotten inside the A/C system during manufacture, assembly or service. Moisture can get into the A/C components from humidity in the air. This is the “drier” function of the receiver/drier

ADVANTAGES OF USING RECEIVER It holds excess liquid that would otherwise back up in the condenser

coil an essentially reduce the size of the condenser coil.With a reciever, the system can have liquid refrigerant back up there instead of reducing performance and efficiency by negating condenser coil size.Its for lower load condition when you don’t need to move as much refrigerant but your system runs full capacity.

It's for lower load conditions when you don't need to move as much refrigerant but your system runs full capacity.

LIMITATIONS• The receiver/drier should be replaced any time the system is opened for service,

an most compressor warranties require it. • The desiccant is only capable of absorbing a certain amount of moisture, and

when the inside of the system and/or the receiver/drier are exposed to the atmosphere, the desiccant can become very quickly saturated from humidity in the air.• Additionally, the filter inside the receiver/drier could be restricted by debris that

may have been inside the system. This could diminish refrigerant and oil flow.
