Abstract:
An integrated U-tube and adsorbent unit including a U-tube having first and second legs and a return bend, a space between the first and second legs and the return bend, adsorbent in the space, opposite sides on the first and second legs and the return bend, permeable covers bonded to the first and second opposite sides to contain the adsorbent within the space, a hole in the return bend, a frame connected to the U-bend and defining a space in communication with the hole, and filter material on the frame. An integrated U-tube and adsorbent unit including a plastic U-tube and a self-contained adsorbent unit having a plastic cover bonded to the U-tube with the body of the self-contained adsorbent unit positioned between the legs of the U-tube.

Abstract:
An elongated adsorbent unit for use in combination with an elongated refrigerant-containing housing includes a housing having first and second ends, and an interior and an exterior. Adsorbent is compacted in the interior of the housing. First and second porous end members are secured to the first and second ends of the housing, respectively. One or more fluid communication channels extend along the exterior of the housing between the first and second ends of the housing.

Abstract:
A preformed desiccant bag for use with a retaining clip including a preformed porous casing including a first preformed bulbous end portion of a first girth, a second preformed bulbous end portion of a second girth, a central preformed waist portion of a third girth located between the first and second preformed bulbous end portions, with the third girth being smaller than either the first and second girths to thereby provide a pronounced position for reception of a retaining clip, and desiccant in the casing.
