Come to Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service to Replace Your Car's Receiver and Dryer or Accumulator

Your car's compressor is designed to take in air only. Moisture infiltration is an issue for vehicles in the Washington DC area. Water getting into the compressor is a common cause for compressor failure. Your car or truck has either a receiver and dryer or an accumulator to separate air from water to keep the compressor dry.

• A receiver and dryer are present in vehicles that have a thermal expansion valve.
• An accumulator is present in a vehicle with an orifice tube. The accumulator is responsible for monitoring and controlling the amount of refrigerant that goes into the evaporator.

The receiver and dryer or accumulator also removes moisture using a desiccant, which is a small, bead-filled packet, and special filters that protect the A/C system from moisture and are easy to replace.
