Product Details

The Denso 478-2080 receiver drier is part of Denso’s New Receiver Drier line, which focuses on factory-style HVAC service components for vehicles that need reliable A/C performance after major system work. In an automotive air conditioning system, the receiver drier helps manage liquid and vapor refrigerant while also removing moisture that can lead to corrosion, internal wear, and leaks. This makes it an important replacement item during A/C repair on vehicles such as the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Ford Mustang.

Compatible With 2013-2017 Jeep Compass, N/A; 2013-2017 Jeep Patriot, N/A; 2010-2014 Ford Mustang, N/A; 2009-2013 Mazda 6, N/A; 2011-2012 Dodge Caliber, N/A; 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty, N/A; and 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro, N/A. Part number 478-2080 is also referenced in OE-style service listings for these applications.

Common A/C Problems It Can Address

• Moisture contamination inside the A/C system
• Reduced cooling performance after compressor or line service
• Refrigerant flow instability that can affect outlet temperature
• Internal corrosion caused by trapped moisture
• Premature wear in serviced HVAC components

Installation Notes

Replace the receiver drier when performing major A/C service, especially after opening the system to the atmosphere or replacing major HVAC components. Verify the vehicle’s exact fitment by year, make, model, and transmission notes before installation. Because this unit uses female inlet and outlet fittings, confirm line connection style and body dimensions before ordering. Proper evacuation, leak checking, and refrigerant recharge procedures are required after installation.

Quality Assurance

Denso manufactures this receiver drier to factory-level standards for OE-style fit and function. The design follows the brand’s First Time Fit approach, with attention to moisture control, refrigerant management, and service reliability for applications such as Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Ford Mustang.
