Buy Air conditioning dryer and repair your car affordably

Dryer of the air conditioner - function.

The operation of the air conditioning is based on the principle that a gaseous refrigerant is compressed, whereby it releases heat and is liquefied. It is then evaporated again and it has to absorb heat, thus causing a cooling effect. The refrigerant passes to a closed loop system, where due to its hygroscopic properties it absorbs both moisture as well as fine sediments and carries them along. To remove both from the coolant the system of the air-conditioning includes a dryer with a filter function. This in turn can absorb moisture due to the hygroscopic property of the filter material, whereby the refrigerant is dried. In addition, the dryer also works as a reservoir, through which a small loss of coolant can be balanced. Known manufacturers of dryers are Denso, Valeo, Hella, Van Wezel, AC Delco and Waeco

Regular maintenance and renewal of the dryer.

The dryer can only absorb a maximum amount of water from the coolant, which is why its lifespan is limited. Usually, the degree of saturation is reached after about two years operating time and the dryer should be changed. If this is not done, the increasing water content leads to corrosion, which in turn can lead to increased wear and damage to the system components. Moreover a high water content may freeze the expansion valve, which may cause malfunctions up to a total failure of the air conditioning. A simultaneous change of the dryer is also recommended when replacing the air conditioning compressor.

Exchanging the dryer of the air conditioning.

With a little skill you can exchange the dryer or the dryer cartridge securely. Often, the dryer is easily accessible at the front of the engine compartment, near the cooler. If the dryer is to be replaced completely the coolant supply lines must be removed. During assembly you should make sure that the new dryer cartridge is only exposed as briefly as possible to the atmosphere because otherwise it absorbs unnecessary humidity. As part of the regular maintenance of the dryer a renewal of the coolant is recommended. You can buy a new dryer at a particularly reasonable price in our online shop.
