A bi-flow filter drier is a component used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant while allowing flow in both directions. This type of filter drier is essential for heat pump systems, where the direction of refrigerant flow can change depending on the heating or cooling cycle. It typically combines a filter element with desiccant materials to absorb moisture and capture debris, ensuring system efficiency and longevity.
Filter drier is used in an A/C system to take moisture out of the system. It is installed on the liquid line.
A filter drier for a cooling only condensing unit will have an arrow pointing in one direction. This is because the refrigerant that passes through it will always flow in the same direction. A heat pump filter drier must have the ability to allow the refrigerant to flow through it in either direction and so a filter drier that is made for a heat pump will have two arrows pointing in opposite directions.
It has what is called a receiver drier........ It does not have a cabin filter.

To replace the filter drier on a 2006 Honda Odyssey, first, ensure the AC system is properly evacuated to remove refrigerant. Then, locate the filter drier, typically situated near the condenser, and disconnect the lines carefully. Remove the mounting bolts to take out the old filter drier, and install the new one by reversing the steps, ensuring all connections are tight and leak-free. Finally, recharge the AC system with the appropriate refrigerant.
low pressure input side, but it really does not matter, because you have to pour in approx. 2 oz. of a/c pag or ester oil in there. That is if your refurring to an air conditioner unit.
A liquid line drier used in heat pumps is typically a filter drier that contains desiccants to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant flowing through the system. It helps protect the system components from damage and improves the efficiency of the heat pump by ensuring proper refrigerant flow.

if you mean the filter/drier, then looking at the engine compartment, the left side near the jack
A filter drier is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to remove moisture, contaminants, and particles from the refrigerant. It helps protect the system from damage and maintain its efficiency by ensuring a clean and dry refrigerant flow.
The type we used to use on the job, had filter material inside of it which would flow down the suction line if you reversed it. It was made to only filter in the specified flow direction.
A liquid line filter drier should be changed when it becomes saturated with moisture or debris, which can impair its ability to protect the system. Signs that it needs replacement include decreased system performance, increased pressure drops, and frequent compressor cycling. Additionally, it is advisable to replace the filter drier whenever the system is opened for repairs or when a refrigerant leak is repaired to ensure optimal operation. Regular maintenance checks can help determine the right timing for replacement.
