Front A/C Receiver Drier - Description






DESCRIPTION





The A/C receiver/drier (1) stores unused refrigerant, filters the refrigerant, helps remove moisture from the refrigerant and retains any refrigerant vapor that may leave the A/C condenser until it becomes a liquid.

The A/C receiver/drier is installed on the high-side of the A/C system, below the engine compartment behind the right side of the front fascia and is connected to the right side of the A/C condenser by an integral refrigerant line (2). An integral mounting bracket (5) secures the A/C receiver/drier to the right front frame rail and the connections are sealed by use of rubber O-ring seals (3) and metal gaskets (4).
