Figure 1-1 Component Locations

Filter/Dryer -- The filter/dryer removes moisture and particulate

matter from the refrigerant.
Expansion/Block Valve -- Meters the refrigerant flow into the

evaporator coil. The majority of the Gen 4 (Excel) and all Gen 5

systems use a nonadjustable block valve with an 8° F superheat

setting, which is preset at the factory. If you feel there is a problem

with the block valve, do not attempt to adjust the valve, if needed,

it should be replaced by an authorized Carrier Transport A/C

service center.
Evaporator -- The evaporator is located in the interior of the

vehicle. Its primary function is to transfer heat contained in the

passenger compartment air, into the refrigerant, which is circulated

by the compressor, through the evaporator coil. During this process

the air is also filtered and dehumidified.
Resistor -- Resistors are used to control the speeds of the

permanent magnet evaporator blower motors.
