Escape 4WD V6-3.0L (2008)
Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation
RECEIVER/DRIER
NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning system, except when there is physical evidence of
contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the receiver/drier.
The receiver/drier is mounted to the right of the radiator support for 2.3L or 3.0L (4V) vehicles, or at the RH shock tower for hybrid vehicles. It stores
high-pressure liquid after it leaves the condenser core. A desiccant cartridge mounted inside the receiver/drier removes any retained moisture from the
refrigerant.
