Abstract
A liquid receiver arranged in such a manner that the upper portion of the tank body is arranged to have a large diameter, the lower portion of the same is arranged to have a small diameter, the overall body or the lower portion of the small-diameter portion is tapered off, and a desiccant charging portion is supported by a stepped portion created between the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion. Thus, the quantity of the storaged refrigerant can be reduced and the liquid level can be stabilized so that only the liquid refrigerant is allowed to flow and the work for assembling the desiccant charging portion can be performed easily.
