ACM 1550.1013 A/C Receiver Drier with Trinary Switch

The ACM 1550.1013 is a high-quality A/C receiver drier designed for automotive and heavy-duty air conditioning systems. This essential component serves multiple critical functions to maintain optimal A/C performance and protect your system from damage.

Key Features:

• Integrated trinary pressure switch for comprehensive system protection
• Desiccant bag removes moisture from refrigerant to prevent corrosion and ice formation
• Internal filter media captures contaminants and wear metals from the compressor
• Protects expensive A/C components including the compressor and expansion valve
• Stores liquid refrigerant from the condenser before sending it to the expansion valve

Trinary Switch Functions:

• Low pressure cutoff prevents compressor operation during refrigerant loss
• High pressure cutoff protects system when pressure rises too high
• Fan override circuit engages electric cooling fans to maintain proper head pressure

When to Replace:

Industry best practices recommend replacing the receiver drier anytime the A/C system is opened for service, after compressor replacement, or when the system has been exposed to atmosphere for more than 30 minutes. The desiccant has limited moisture absorption capacity and becomes saturated when exposed to air, making replacement essential during any major A/C repair.

This receiver drier is commonly used in automotive, truck, bus, and heavy equipment applications where reliable climate control is critical for operator comfort and safety.
