Dans un circuit frigorifique [...] l'installation dans le conduit de liquide (généralement à la sortie immédiate du receiver) d'un déshydrateur-filtre, susceptible [...] non seulement de fixer l'eau mais de capter également toutes les matières solides en suspension dans le fluide, est absolument impérative.

OBS

Dessiccateur : La déshydratation étant une action ou processus de déshydrater, de priver d'eau, il ne serait pas correct de la confondre avec le terme dessiccation qui désigne, lui, l'action de dessécher (dessiccation de l'air comprimé, par exemple).
