    Very well explained, thank you for this! The Accumulator/Receiver Drier in my Jeep clunks from time to time, especially after sitting overnight and when I start the engine w/AC on, and I'm now on the path of investigating for repair/replacement. It's clear mine is worn out and needs replacing. I'm surprised I'm the first to give this informative video a like! Thanks again!

    For some reason I never understood this well. Your explanation was exactly on point. The design is based on the difference in boiling points for water, trapping water as a gas in the receiver dryer or as a liquid in the accumulator.

      excuse me sir I have a question, as video said there will be more and more liquid refrigerant in accumulator how to handle it, and whether the oil will get into the AC system or just in compressor

    I’m doing a presentation on the receiver drier for my HVAC class for automotive engineering. This video explained its operation much better than my textbook. Thank you!

    Hi brother thanks for your videos I'm a subscriber.
    Question please...
    I have a 1995 Lexus LS 400.
    The radiator fan is not activating.
    It does work because i tested it.
    I disconnected the connector that's connected to the ac receiver drier and the radiator fan turns on and stays on continuously the whole time.
    But when I reconnect the connector the radiator fan turns off.
    I'm trying to fix the fan so that it turns on when I turn on my air conditioner but the fan does not turn on when I turn on the AC.
    I feel like it has something to do with that connection but I'm not sure.
    Do you think I might have a bad sensor that's connected to the receiver drier?
    Thanks.
    Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.

    Good video. It's always seemed backwards to me that the "drier" only allows LIQUID to pass through it.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a question. Can I change my drier unit myself from my Volvo s70? I can fix many things in my car. Changing plugs, brakes etc... However I am very skeptical about these complicated devices. My drier is heavily rusted and I believe it leaks gas. Else I will take it to the mechanic. What would you suggest sir (or whomever has experience)?

    Is the inlet of the accumulator supposed to be cold? The line is cold after the orifice tube but when it exits the evaporator it is not cold anymore.

      I am from Iraq and there is no oil collector in the market. Can I use a dryer as an alternative and change the location of the dryer at the end of the condenser tube?
      I apologize for any spelling errors, I use a translator

    Does oil in the system also go through each these components, or only an accumulator ?

      The purpose of the accumulator is to make sure only gas makes it to the compressor. Liquid will wreck a compressor.
      The dryer is just a filter. It doubles as a storage tank too in some cases. That’s the receiver part. Receivers are just storage tanks for the gas.
      In many cases the receiver dryer are separate components. Called receiver. And the filter dryer.

    I just removed my accumulator to replace it on my 1988 Ford F250 with a 460 engine. It had 8 ounces of oil in it. That seems like way too much to me. Anybody know for sure?

    What if I connect the accumulator direct to the evaporater like no distance between the two.will that effect the system? ( I'm putting a complete new ac system in a vehicle that wasn't designed with one.)

    • @JoeBlowski

      It needs to be anywhere between the evaporator and compressor.

    My a/c broke and the lines off the compressor are cut open. Can I just pull the A/C clutch relay? (the pull spins freely) I don't care if the a/c works or not.

    • @JoeBlowski
      @JoeBlowski 3 роки тому +1

      No need to pull the relay, because the clutch will not engage without refrigerant due to the low pressure switch.
