[3] RECEIVER

The receiver serves the purpose of storing the liquid
refrigerant. The amount of liquid refrigerant flowing
through the system varies with the operating condition of
the air conditioner. To be accurate, the receiver stores
excess refrigerant when the heat load is lowered. It also
releases stored refrigerant when additional cooling is
needed, thus, keeping the optimum flow of refrigerant
within the system.
The receiver includes a desiccant (2). It has the job
of removing moisture as the refrigerant circulates within
the system.
The sight glass is installed on the top of the receiver.
The amount of refrigerant that is charged has a direct
effect on the efficiency of the air conditioner. The sight
glass is used to check the amount of refrigerant. If a
large flow of bubbles can be seen in the sight glass,
there is insufficient refrigerant charged. If so, fill the
refrigerant to the proper level.
