| To ensure that the air conditioner compressor draws in only gaseous refrigerant, the reservoir collects the mixture of vapour and gas coming from the evaporator. The vapour becomes gaseous refrigerant. |
| Refrigerant oil entrained in the circuit does not remain in the reservoir as an oil extraction hole is provided. |
| Any moisture ingressing into the refrigerant circuit during assembly is trapped by a filter (desiccant bag) in the reservoir. |
| Gaseous refrigerant with oil is drawn in by the air conditioner compressor. |
Note | t
| Renew reservoir if refrigerant circuit has been open for a relatively long period and moisture has ingressed, or if renewal is stipulated due to a specific complaint → Chapter. |
| t
| Do not remove the sealing plugs -A- and -B- until immediately prior to installation. |
| t
| If the reservoir is not sealed, the desiccant bag soon becomes saturated with moisture and thus unusable. |
| t
| When installing, observe arrow indicating direction of flow (if applicable). |
