Help keep moisture and debris out of your air-conditioning system with the DENSO A/C Receiver Drier 478-2081, a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2010-2011 Mazda Tribute and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner (all engines). The listed applications each use one receiver drier.

Accumulators and receiver-driers are easy to overlook during routine service, but they do important work in A/C operation. They manage the flow of liquid and vapor refrigerant through the system to support steady, surge-free operation. When major A/C service is performed, leading service authorities often recommend replacing the accumulator or receiver drier.

  • Moisture and debris control: Removes moisture and debris to help protect the A/C system. DENSO's receiver-driers contain powerful desiccant packages that keep harmful moisture isolated from the system. This helps guard internal components against corrosion, which can wear a system from the inside out and lead to costly leaks.
  • Built for pressure: Made to tight tolerances for durability under high pressure.
  • Construction: Aluminum body in a block union type, with an O-ring inlet fitting and a female outlet fitting.
  • First Time Fit®: Part of DENSO's First Time Fit® line, built to stringent factory standards.

Country of origin: China.
