Component Description: Receiver-Drier

The receiver/drier stores high-pressure liquid and the desiccant bag mounted inside the receiver/drier removes any retained moisture from the refrigerant.

For GTDI  engine equipped vehicles, the receiver/drier is mounted between the A/C condenser outlet and the TXV  manifold and tube assembly.

For Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) engine equipped vehicles, the receiver/drier is incorporated onto the LH side of the A/C condenser. The receiver/drier desiccant bag is a separate component and can be removed and installed with the A/C condenser in the vehicle.
