Octavia Mk1 HVAC System: R134a A/C with Dessicator Reservoir | Technical Data

Fluid reservoir with dessicator
Fluid reservoir with dessicator
   
The fluid reservoir with dessicator gathers the liquid drops and conveys them to the throttle or expansion valve in a constant flow. Humidity, that has penetrated into the refrigerant circuit during assembly, is caught by a dessicator bag integrated in the fluid reservoir.
  S87-0188
The new generation of fluid reservoirs -6- has a dessicator cartridge and is directly installed on the condenser -5-.
  Note
t  Replace the fluid reservoir (if possible only the dessicator) if the refrigerant circuit was opened for a longer period of time (beyond the normal repair time) and humidity penetrated or if it is required because a specific complaint was made → Chapter.
t  Only remove the screw plug (dessicator housing) shortly before the installation.
t  The dessicator bag, which is located in a unclosed fluid reservoir (housing), will be saturated with humidity and become unusable after a short period of time.
t  If necessary, observe the arrow for the direction of flow when installing.
