Abstract

A condenser having a receiver for use in an air conditioning system, having a plurality of refrigerant tubes, at least one header in hydraulic communication with the plurality of refrigerant tubes, and a receiver housing connected to the header. The receiver housing includes a refrigerant conduit nested within the spine of a desiccant bag. The spine divided the desiccant bag into two desiccant compartments, which are folded over the refrigerant conduit such that the desiccant compartments urge the refrigerant conduit onto the spine, thereby holding the desiccant bag in a predetermined position.
