Receiver Drier
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The receiver drier stores high-pressure liquid and the desiccant bag mounted inside the receiver drier removes any retained moisture from the refrigerant.
For 1.6L EcoBoost and the 2.5L Duratec engine equipped vehicles, the receiver drier is incorporated into the LH side of the A/C condenser. The receiver drier desiccant cartridge is a separate component and can be removed and installed with the A/C condenser in the vehicle.
For 2.0L EcoBoost engine equipped vehicles, the receiver drier is externally mounted to the LH side of the condenser core.
