The accumulator / filter drier works on the low-pressure side to strain moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, since those contaminants cannot be removed by flushing the system.
Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is also required to validate many compressor warranties.
What does this A/C accumulator do?
It acts as a filter drier on the low-pressure side, using a desiccant to remove moisture and contaminants that flushing cannot clear from the refrigerant system.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for various 1994-1997 Dodge and Ram trucks, including Ram 1500/2500/3500, Ram 4000 and Ramcharger models. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application.
Are any seals or gaskets included?
Yes. Per Four Seasons, the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to make installation easier.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours, making the unit ineffective.
Do I need to replace it when installing a new compressor?
Four Seasons notes that replacing the accumulator / filter drier is required to validate many compressor warranties, so it's best replaced with the compressor.
