Problems:
Dirty Leaking Corrosion Fan vapor insects / flies stones inside / outside out of order liquid
Reciever / Drier
Funktion / Purpose
To act as drier for the refrigerant To act as filter for the refrigerant To act as reservoir for the refrigerant Change gas bubbles to liquid
Important:
Drier has to be changed, when the sytem has been open or leaking for more then 5 minutes Drier should be changed every two years
4) Drying element
5) Liquid refrigerant 6) Pipe 7) Compensation chamber
