Receiver Drier
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XFR, 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XFR, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XFR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The receiver drier is integrated into the RH end tank of the condenser to remove solid impurities and moisture from the refrigerant. It also provides a reservoir for liquid refrigerant to accommodate changes of heat load at the evaporator.
NOTE:
The receiver drier is part of the condenser assembly and is not serviceable separately.
Refrigerant entering the receiver drier passes through a filter and a desiccant pack, then collects in the base of the unit before flowing through the outlet pipe back to the condenser.
