DENSO 478-2097 A/C Receiver Drier

The DENSO 478-2097 A/C Receiver Drier (also called an A/C receiver-drier or accumulator-type A/C drier component) plays an important role in air conditioning operation, even though it is often overlooked during regular vehicle service. It helps manage the flow of liquid and vapor refrigerant through the system for maximum output and smooth, surge-free operation.

Key Features:

• Manages liquid and vapor refrigerant flow through the A/C system
• Contains a desiccant package that isolates harmful moisture from the system
• Helps protect internal components from corrosion, which can wear systems prematurely from the inside out and lead to costly leaks
• Part of the DENSO First Time Fit® line, built to stringent factory standards for new-car performance and efficiency

Replacement of the receiver-drier or accumulator is often recommended by leading service authorities whenever major A/C service is performed.
