AC Accumulator & Receiver/Dryer Information

Why are AC Accumulator & Receiver/Dryer Part(s) Important

The AC Accumulator and Receiver/Dryer is an integral part of your vehicle's Air Conditioning and Heating system which keeps your interior at a comfortable temperature. The AC system is in charge of cooling air and circulating it through your cabin. It does through a series of pumps, condensers, fans, and a ventilation system it shares with the heater. In this inter-connected system every part is absolutely necessary, especially the AC Accumulator and Receiver/Dryer.

Your AC Accumulator can also be referred to as a Dryer, or AC receiver/dryer. Its main function is to act as a safety catch for any liquid that might make its way back to your compressor. It does this by absorbing chemically moisture using a desiccant. It also includes a particle filter to block any debris from damaging your AC system.

If your AC Accumulator fails, liquids or particles can get to your compressor resulting in damage. This will eventually cause your AC system to fail when you need it most. It's important to consider replacing the accumulator anytime the system is opened and exposed to moisture or debris.
