Nowadays, as we drive our automobiles, most of us can enjoy the same comforts that we are accustomed to at home and at work. With the push of a button or the slide of a lever, we make the seamless transition from heating to cooling and back again without ever wondering how this change occurs. There are different kinds of air conditioning system but the common parts are condenser, compressor, evaporator, thermal expansion valve and receiver-drier. The AC receiver drier is more commonly used with the thermal expansion valve while the accumulator with the orifice tube. This type of metering requires a liquid refrigerant and to ensure that the thermal expansion valve gets the liquid refrigerant, the receiver drier is used. Primarily the function of the AC receiver drier is to separate the liquid from the gas. Secondly, its function is to remove the moisture and filter out dirt that may clogged the AC system. At the top of the receiver drier is a sight glass or a small window that is used to charge the system or allows you to see if the AC is fully charged. Under normal situations, you should not see any bubbles passing thru the receiver drier. If you see any bubbles then that would mean you are already low on Freon. The AC receiver drier is located in the engine compartment, a cylindrical looking part that should be painted black, and has two hose attached to it. It is best if an AC specialist helps you out to avoid accidents that can cause the release of the Freon. The change should be done every time you remove any AC component that exposes the sealed AC system to the atmosphere.
