AC Receiver Drier
The ac receiver drier is used to take all of the water out of the ac system, and to take out any contaminants that may plug the ac system. The ac receiver drier should be changed every time you remove any ac component that exposes the sealed ac system to the atmosphere.
The ac receiver drier is typically located in the engine compartment and has 2 hoses connected to it. There also may be a low-pressure switch attached to the receiver drier as well. For convenience some ac receiver driers have a small window on the unit to allow you to see if the air conditioning system is fully charged. Simply turn the ac system on high, wait a few minutes and look at the small window. You should not see any bubbles passing thru the receiver drier. If you do see bubbles, this usually means the Freon is low in the system.
