Denso 478-2086 A/C Receiver Drier

Denso New Receiver Drier for BMW A/C Service

Denso 478-2086 is a New Receiver Drier for BMW air conditioning systems that need moisture control and stable refrigerant flow. It is built with an aluminum body and female inlet and outlet fittings for a direct-fit service replacement on listed BMW applications.

The Denso New Receiver Drier line is engineered to meet factory-level standards for A/C service. In this application, the receiver drier helps separate liquid and vapor refrigerant while the desiccant package removes moisture from the system to reduce internal corrosion and protect A/C components during major service.
