A receiver (24) in a condenser system (20) includes a body (32) in fluid communication with a header ( 28) of the condenser system (20). A service cartridge ( 154) is insertable into an interior cavity (106) of the body (32). The service cartridge (154) includes a substantially-rigid tubular member
A receiver (24) in a condenser system (20) includes a body (32) in fluid communication with a header ( 28) of the condenser system (20). A service cartridge ( 154) is insertable into an interior cavity (106) of the body (32). The service cartridge (154) includes a substantially-rigid tubular member (156). Covers (166, 168), each having openings (170, 172), are coupled to opposing ends of the tubular member (78). A spindle (179) is non-detachably coupled to each of the first cover (166) and a cap (180). The cap ( 180) is configured for threaded attachment to a service end of the body (32) of the receiver (24). Refrigerant 150 is received by the tubular member (156) via the first openings (170), and is discharged from the tubular member (156) via the second openings (172). The service cartridge (154) includes multiple features for drying, filtering, and/or leak detection.

What is claimed is: 1. A service cartridge for a receiver in a condenser system, said receiver having a body configured for fluid communication with a header of said condenser system, said service cartridge being insertable into an interior cavity of said body, and said service cartridge comprising
What is claimed is: 1. A service cartridge for a receiver in a condenser system, said receiver having a body configured for fluid communication with a header of said condenser system, said service cartridge being insertable into an interior cavity of said body, and said service cartridge comprising: a substantially-rigid tubular member including a first opening at a first end for receiving a refrigerant, and including a second opening at a second end for discharging said refrigerant; a spindle having a first spindle end and a second spindle end, said first spindle end being coupled to said first end of said tubular member; and a cap non-detachably coupled to said second spindle end, said cap being configured for attachment to a service end of said body of said receiver. 2. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a first cover at said first end to which said first spindle end is coupled, said first opening extending through said first cover. 3. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a second cover at said second end, said second opening extending through said second cover. 4. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first spindle end is non-detachably coupled to said first end of said tubular member. 5. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 further comprising rib members radially extending from an outer surface of said substantially-rigid tubular member and configured to abut an inner surface of said body. 6. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 further comprising means, extending from said tubular member, configured to separate said body of said receiver into a first chamber and a second chamber, said first opening being positioned in said first chamber, and said second opening being positioned in said second chamber. 7. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 6 wherein said separating means comprises a sleeve coupled about said service cartridge and extending from an outer surface of said service cartridge, said sleeve being configured to contact an inner surface of said body. 8. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cap comprises a threaded portion for mating engagement with a threaded region of said body of said receiver. 9. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cap comprises holes inwardly extending from an outer surface of said cap, said holes enabling application of a prong wrench to effect angular adjustment of said cap. 10. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cap comprises a slot inwardly extending from an inner surface of said second cap, said slot providing a pathway for pressure relief when said cap is disconnected from said body of said receiver. 11. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 wherein said receiver includes a bottom cap on an opposite end of said body from said service end, and said service cartridge further comprises a second spindle extending from said second end of said tubular member, said second spindle being configured to abut an inner surface of said bottom cap. 12. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 1 further comprising: a first filter positioned in an interior of said tubular member proximate said first end; and a second filter positioned in said interior of said tubular member proximate said second end. 13. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 12 further comprising a desiccant interposed between said first and second filters. 14. A service cartridge for a receiver in a condenser system, said receiver having a body configured for fluid communication with a header of said condenser system, said service cartridge being insertable into an interior cavity of said body, and said service cartridge comprising: a substantially-rigid tubular member having a first end and a second end; a first cover at said first end and having a first opening extending through said first cover for receiving a refrigerant; a second cover at said second end and having a second opening extending through said cover for discharging said refrigerant; a spindle having a first spindle end and a second spindle end, said first spindle end being coupled to said first cover; and a cap non-detachably coupled to said second spindle end, said cap being configured for attachment to a service end of said body of said receiver. 15. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 14 further comprising: a first filter positioned in an interior of said tubular member proximate said first end; and a second filter positioned in said interior of said tubular member proximate said second end. 16. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 15 further comprising a desiccant interposed between said first and second filters. 17. A service cartridge for a receiver in a condenser system, said receiver having a body configured for fluid communication with a header of said condenser system, said service cartridge being insertable into an interior cavity of said body, and said service cartridge comprising: a substantially-rigid tubular member including a first opening at a first end for receiving a refrigerant, and including a second opening at a second end for discharging said refrigerant; a spindle having a first spindle end and a second spindle end, said first spindle end being non-detachably coupled to said first end of said tubular member; and a cap non-detachably coupled to said second spindle end, said cap including a threaded portion for mating engagement with a threaded region of said body of said receiver. 18. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 17 wherein said cap comprises holes inwardly extending from an outer surface of said cap, said holes enabling application of a prong wrench to effect angular adjustment of said cap. 19. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 17 wherein said cap comprises a slot inwardly extending from an inner surface of said second cap, said slot providing a pathway for pressure relief when said cap is disconnected from said body of said receiver. 20. A service cartridge as claimed in claim 17 wherein said receiver includes a bottom cap on an opposite end of said body from said service end, and said service cartridge further comprises a second spindle extending from said second end of said tubular member, said second spindle being configured to abut an inner surface of said bottom cap.
