Receiver and service cartridge for a condenser system

A condenser system comprising:

• two spaced apart headers;
• a plurality of parallel tubes extending between said headers for passing refrigerant between said headers;
• and
• a receiver in fluid communication with one of said spaced apart headers, said receiver including:
• a body having first and second ends;
• a first cap coupled to said body at said first end and having a first saddle portion coupled to said one of said spaced apart headers;
• a tube section coupled to said body at said second end and having a second saddle portion coupled to said one of said spaced apart headers, said first cap and said tube section being nondetachably coupled to said body, and said first and second saddle portions retaining an entirety of said body away from said one of said spaced apart headers to form a gap between said body and said one of said headers;
• a service cartridge inserted through said tube section into an interior cavity of said body;
• and
• a second cap removably interconnected with said tube section following insertion of said service cartridge into said interior cavity.

A receiver for a condenser system, said condenser system including two spaced apart headers, and said receiver comprising:

• a body configured for fluid communication with one of said spaced apart headers, said body having first and second ends;
• a first cap coupled to said body at said first end and having a first saddle portion adapted for coupling to said one of said spaced apart headers;
• a tube section coupled to said body at said second end, said tube section including a second saddle portion adapted for coupling to said one of said spaced apart headers;
• a service cartridge being inserted through said tube section into an interior cavity of said body;
• and
• a second cap removably interconnected with said tube section following insertion of said service cartridge into said interior cavity, said second cap including holes inwardly extending from an outer surface of said second cap, said holes enabling application of a prong wrench to effect angular adjustment of said second cap, and said first and second saddle portions being adapted to retain an entirety of said body away from said one of said spaced apart headers to form a gap between said body and said one of said headers.
