How to remove and replace the A/C Accumulator in an air conditioning system on Jeep Comanche?

To begin, discharge the air conditioning system and disconnect the negative battery cable. Then, unplug the electrical connector from the pressure switch near the top of the receiver-drier. Disconnect the refrigerant line from the receiver-drier, using a backup wrench to prevent twisting the tubing. Make sure to plug the open fittings to prevent dirt and moisture from entering. Next, remove the receiver-drier by loosening the mounting bracket bolts or clamping band screw, depending on the model. If a new receiver-drier is being installed, remove the Schrader valve and pour out the oil, noting the amount. Add fresh refrigerant oil to the new receiver-drier, equal to the amount removed from the old unit plus one ounce. Finally, reverse the removal process for installation and take the vehicle back to the shop for evacuation, charging, and leak testing of the A/C system.

Jeep Comanche A/C Accumulator

The A/C Accumulator is used in Jeep Comanche vehicles to remove moisture from the Air Conditioning system while trapping contaminants at the same time. This component is situated in the receiver drier which is placed in the high pressure liquid line between the condenser and the expansion valve or in the accumulator placed in between the evaporator and the compressor. Both of them are crucial in order to eliminate corrosion and sludge that damages the system with flow stoppage. Jeep Comanche vehicles employ these A/C Accumulators to avoid situations whereby moisture finds its way into the refrigerant oil hence reducing on their efficiency. It means that the desiccant has the ability to harness a limited amount of moisture, which easily gets full and hence needs to be replaced frequently in order not to cause damage to the system. According to leading service authorities it is advisable to replace the A/C Accumulator during major A/C services to safeguard the system and support warranty claims concerning replacement of compressors.
