COMPONENT FUNDAMENTALS

ROLE

 

The receiver drier is a filtering unit located on the high pressure side of the AC loop between the condenser and the expansion valve. The role of the receiver is to filter particles and debris flowing in the circuit as well as to absorb any moisture. Furthermore, it also stores oil and refrigerant.

 

OPERATION

 

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

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

 

  • The receiver drier/accumulator must be replaced every two years or whenever the circuit has been opened.

 

  • The inside filtering and desiccant layers can be worn out, after a long period, and cause the receiver drier to lose its ability to properly filter the refrigerant and oil.

 

  • The receiver drier's condition is crucial for the compressor's vitality - a high level of moisture in the AC system can cause corrosion and reduce compressor’s lubrication level significantly. Unfiltered particles, debris, metal chips etc. flowing in the loop are the main reasons for compressor failures and in the worst cases seizures.   

 

  • Too much oil in the system reduces the drier's ability to filter the system properly –  the desiccant gets too oily.
