| The receiver collects the droplets of liquid and conveys them in a continuous flow to the expansion valve. Any moisture ingressing into the refrigerant circuit during assembly is collected by a dryer in the receiver. |
Note | t
| Renew receiver 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 until immediately prior to installation. |
| t
| If the receiver 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). |
| t
| The procedure for dealing with problems differs depending on the version of the receiver / dryer cartridge. If, for example, the receiver is attached to the condenser, it can be renewed together with the dryer cartridge. If, for example, the receiver is integrated into the condenser, it is usually possible to renew the dryer cartridge and any additional filter element separately. If the receiver is integrated into the condenser and it is not possible to renew the receiver/dryer cartridge separately, it may be necessary to renew the entire condenser → Heating, air conditioning; Rep. gr.87 or → Air conditioning; Rep. gr.87 (vehicle-specific workshop manual) and → Electronic parts catalogue. |
