Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation

Receiver/Dryer




The receiver/dryer has the three roles as described below:
- The receiver section serves as a temporary storage container of condenser-liquefied refrigerant so that it is possible to supply the evaporator with the condenser-liquefied refrigerant just conforming to the demand of the cooling load.
- The dryer section serves to remove the dirt and water mixed in the cycling refrigerant by means of the filter and desiccant (2) sealed therein.
- The sight glass (4), installed atop the receiver, serves to look at thereby the flowing state of the refrigerant.
