Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation

Receiver Drier







The receiver drier acts as a refrigerant reservoir for the system. Any moisture in the system is absorbed in the drier desiccant.

CAUTION: The R-134a receiver drier is identified with a green label and MUST NOT be used in R-12 systems (drier desiccant is only compatible with R-134a refrigerant). Likewise, NEVER use an R-12 receiver drier in an R-134a system.
