Fluid Collector
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
In some operating conditions (for example heat pump operation) the receiver/dryer (for example on the condenser) is not incorporated in the refrigerant circuit. The fluid collector -B- collects the refrigerant, and stores it temporarily if a certain amount of refrigerant is not needed, and then directs it in an uninterrupted stream to the expansion valve (in front of the evaporator in the heater and A/C unit) or to the heat exchanger in the high-voltage system coolant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific repair information).
