Airtex Automotive Division 906-835-00-47 A/C Receiver Drier

The Airtex Automotive Division 906-835-00-47 is an A/C receiver drier designed to protect and optimize air conditioning system performance. This component serves as a critical protection device for the entire A/C system, performing three essential functions to ensure reliable cooling operation.

Key Functions:

• Refrigerant and oil storage - Acts as a temporary holding container for refrigerant and lubricant during periods of low cooling demand
• Moisture removal - Contains desiccant material that absorbs harmful water from the A/C system, preventing internal corrosion and protecting compressor oil performance
• Filtration - Built-in filter traps debris, metal particles, and contaminants to prevent system clogs and compressor damage

This receiver drier is installed on the high-pressure side of the A/C system between the condenser and evaporator, and is used exclusively in systems equipped with expansion valves. The desiccant core protects against moisture contamination that can severely compromise system components and cooling efficiency.

Service Note: Receiver driers should be replaced whenever the A/C system is opened for service or repair, as exposure to atmospheric humidity quickly saturates the desiccant material and renders it ineffective. Most compressor warranties require receiver drier replacement as a condition of coverage.
