Question on AC and dryer
Driving with AC on the whole time, do you know if there is liquid flow in the dryer's glass window all the time or only once in a while? Another question is if the dryer get really hot?
Mine is converted to 134 with new dryer and is having both of these symptoms. Are these normal? Yes, I got cold air now.

I'd say that the dryer should get hot as it is in the high pressure side, not so hot but it will be warm. If it was in the low pressure side it would be cool. The link above explains it all.
"""Although these two parts serve similar purposes, the receiver dryer is connected to the condenser outlet (high-pressure side) and is used exclusively in expansion valve systems. In contrast, the accumulator is attached to the evaporator outlet (low-pressure side), and is only found in orifice tube systems. The primary functional difference is that the accumulator is designed to prevent liquid refrigerant from being drawn into the compressor.
