| To ensure that the air conditioning compressor only sucks refrigerant gas in its gaseous state, the collection tank absorbs the vapor-gas mixture coming from the evaporator. From the vapor, refrigerant gas in its gaseous state is obtained. |
| The refrigerant gas oil in the loop does not remain in the collection tank, as there is a vent for oil suction. |
| Humidity that may have seeped into the refrigerant gas circuit during assembly is absorbed by the tank filter. |
| Both refrigerant gas in its gaseous state and oil are sucked by the compressor. |
Note | t
| The collection tank should be replaced if the refrigerant gas loop has remained open for an extended period of time (longer than normal repair time) and/or humidity has entered the system; or if this is advised by specific recommendations → Chapter. |
| t
| Closing plugs -A- and -B- should only be removed immediately before assembly. |
| t
| When the collection tank is not closed, the internal element rapidly becomes saturated due to humidity absorption, and is thus rendered useless. |
| t
| During assembly, pay attention to the arrow indicating the refrigerant gas flow direction. |
