Description
Aftermarket A/C Receiver-Drier Desiccant Element
The replaceable desiccant that keeps a Jaguar A/C system dry — it absorbs the moisture that causes acids, corrosion and icing. A 24 mm × 240 mm element that cross-references the Jaguar and major aftermarket service numbers.
This is the desiccant element (not necessarily a complete receiver-drier housing). Confirm whether your repair needs the element or a full drier, and verify the application, before ordering.
Moisture control for your A/C system
Moisture is the enemy of an air-conditioning system. Combined with refrigerant and oil it forms acids that corrode metal, and it can freeze at the expansion valve and block cooling. The receiver-drier’s desiccant absorbs that moisture and holds it out of circulation.
This is the desiccant element for that job on the Jaguar applications listed. Because desiccant has a finite capacity and degrades once the system is opened to the atmosphere, it’s treated as a service item — renewed whenever the system is opened, the compressor is replaced, or the charge is lost.
Know exactly what you’re ordering
The details that decide whether this element matches your system:
Small part, big protection
Keeps the system dry
Desiccant absorbs the moisture that finds its way into a refrigerant circuit — the leading cause of acid formation, internal corrosion and icing at the expansion device.
Protects your components
Trapping moisture helps protect the compressor, expansion valve and the rest of the A/C system from moisture-related damage.
Direct-fit Jaguar element
Cross-references the Jaguar and major aftermarket service numbers for the applications listed — see the tables below.
A wear item — renew on service
Desiccant has a finite capacity. Any time the system is opened or the compressor is replaced, the desiccant should be renewed.
Compact element format
A 24 mm × 240 mm desiccant element that serves the receiver-drier’s moisture-control job for these applications.
Aftermarket value
An economical replacement for the OEM desiccant / receiver-drier service part.
