Ford F-350 A/C Receiver Driers & Accumulators

The air conditioning system uses a special refrigerant to regulate the temperature inside the cabin of your Ford F-350. When the system is not operating at full capacity, the unused refrigerant is stored inside a receiver-drier or accumulator, a hermetically sealed metal receptacle that contains some desiccant to absorb water and a filter to trap damaging debris. Although the receiver-drier and accumulator feature similar design, the former is used with expansion valves and the latter is meant for systems with orifice tubes. Typical problems with receiver-driers and accumulators include saturation of the desiccant, a clogged filter, and leakages of the refrigerant.

When choosing a receiver-drier or accumulator for your vehicle, you want to end up with a high quality product that will ensure reliable function. As the metal of the drier or accumulator is constantly exposed to moisture and a continual cycle of high and low temperatures, it should feature superior durability and resistance to corrosion. It is also important that the products you decide on be compatible with other components of the A/C system of your vehicle. In our store you will find Ford F-350 receiver driers and accumulators that come from such famous aftermarket companies as Spectra Premium, UAC, Replace, Motorcraft, and Four Seasons.
