Vehicle Driers & Accumulators
Protect Your Vehicle’s Air-Conditioning System with Quality Driers & Accumulators
Automotive driers and accumulators play a crucial role in protecting and optimising the performance of a vehicle’s air conditioning system.
The receiver drier is positioned between the condenser outlet and the expansion valve inlet on the high-pressure side of the air-conditioning loop. It removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant to prevent corrosion, system blockages, and performance issues, thus safeguarding all other components.
The accumulator, located on the low-pressure side between the evaporator outlet and the compressor suction port, helps prevent compressor damage caused by liquid slugging. It ensures that only gas (not liquid) reaches the compressor, maintaining system efficiency and prolonging the compressor’s lifespan.
Whether you need a receiver drier, accumulator, expansion valve, or orifice tube, MACS Auto offers a wide range of OE-quality components for:
- Passenger vehicles
