It removes the moisture that builds up in an air conditioning system from constant expansion and compression that creates the cooling effect. If the moisture is not removed from the gases, water vapor and crystals will form and freeze the compressor.
Trash it.
The AC receiver drier on a 1995 Honda Civic is on the high-pressure side of the system. It is between the expansion valve inlet and condenser outlet.

Between the receiver-drier outlet and the evaporator inlet.
It has what is called a receiver drier........ It does not have a cabin filter.
Ensures that only liquid refrigerant continues on to the Thermal Expansion Valve.
To replace a receiver drier in a 2002 Hyundai Sante Fe, it is recommended to take it to an authorized dealer. This part is usually cheap to replace and the only time it should be replaced is when there is a mechanical compressor failure.
By law, an ASE certified technician in an EPA certified shop must recover and store the refrigerant in your vehicle. Once that's done, you use a fuel line separator to disconnect the refrigerant hoses from the receiver-drier.
The filter/receiver/drier is an integral part of your car's A/C system that has been designed primarily to trap moisture, effectively removing it from the system and preventing corrosive damage to the A/C system. This 'drying' action is chemical in nature, so it can't go on endlessly, this is why it is very important to replace the filter/receiver/drier at intervals.
I don't know how that is why I asked the question.
Should be on the receiver/drier.
The evaporator is located behind the dash on the passengers side and the receiver drier is located in front attached to the a/c condenser.........
