Pipe from Compressor to Filter

The A.C. Pipe – From Condenser to Filter, identified by Maserati Part Number 66063100, is a crucial link in the high-pressure side of your Maserati 4200 GT’s air conditioning system. In the context of automotive A/C, the “filter” refers to the receiver/drier, a vital component that not only filters contaminants but also removes moisture from the refrigerant, preventing system damage and ensuring cooling efficiency. This pipe is responsible for delivering the newly condensed, high-pressure liquid refrigerant to this essential filtration unit.

Here’s its role in the A/C cycle: After the hot, gaseous refrigerant has passed through the condenser and released its heat to the ambient air, it transforms into a high-pressure liquid. This specific pipe (Part Number 660663100) then carries this high-pressure liquid from the condenser’s outlet directly to the inlet of the receiver/drier. The receiver/drier stores excess liquid refrigerant, ensures a steady supply of liquid to the expansion valve, and, most importantly, absorbs any moisture and filters out debris that could harm the system.

Constructed from robust, rigid aluminum alloy tubing, this pipe is built to safely contain the significant pressures (typically ranging from 150-300 psi or 10-20 bar) inherent in this section of the A/C system. Flexible hose sections may be incorporated to absorb engine vibrations and accommodate slight component movements without stressing the rigid connections. Precision-engineered fittings with high-quality O-rings at each end are paramount to prevent refrigerant leaks, which are a common cause of A/C system failure.

Damage to this A.C. pipe, often resulting from corrosion, stone impacts, or fatigue cracks at connection points, will inevitably lead to refrigerant leaks. A loss of refrigerant directly translates to a complete loss of cooling capability, a significant inconvenience and discomfort, especially when driving your Maserati in hot and humid conditions like those in Douala, Cameroon. For your Maserati 4200, replacing a compromised A.C. pipe with a genuine Maserati Part Number 66063100 or a high-quality OEM-equivalent is essential. This ensures the integrity of your A/C system’s high-pressure circuit, allows the receiver/drier to perform its vital functions, and guarantees that your climate control system operates efficiently, providing the cool, refreshing cabin environment you expect from a Maserati.
