Receiver driers

Receiver driers are filtering units with the primary function to receive and store some liquid refrigerant from the condenser. The receiver drier filters out the particles and debris that flow into the circuit and absorb any moisture. Moisture in the system has a bad influence on the compressor oil and the functioning of the components. The receiver drier is located on the high-pressure side of the air conditioning loop between the condenser and the expansion valve.

Accumulators are similar filtering devices but applied only in vehicles with orifice tube as an expansion device. Besides the filtering and the lubricant/refrigerant storing function as in the receiver drier, the accumulator also ensures that no liquid form of the refrigerant gets into the compressor. The accumulator is located on the low-pressure side of the system.
