Fluid reservoir function - GF83.40-P-2122-01P

The liquefied refrigerant enters the fluid reservoir under pressure and flows through a stainless-steel fabric layer to the filter block. The filter block can absorb a specific amount of water.

The filter block's pores are matched exactly to the molecular size of the refrigerant. Thus the refrigerant can flow through the filter block.

All other material is stopped by this molecular filter where it is stored. The cleansed refrigerant then flows through a rising pipe to the expansion valve.
