Does a ac dryer remove air and non condesables?

An air conditioning (AC) dryer, often referred to as a receiver-drier or accumulator, primarily removes moisture from the refrigerant in the system. It does not remove air directly; however, it does help in trapping non-condensable gases, such as air, that may have entered the system. By filtering out moisture and contaminants, the dryer ensures optimal performance and prevents damage to the AC system.
