Default A/C dryer flow direction.

OK, I had my compressor rebuilt, and am replacing the dryer. I got the new dryer, and promptly removed the big ugly label that said 'made in China'.

Now I don't know which side is the input, and which is the output. Is there any way to tell? One side has a rubber plug in it - would that be the input/condenser side?

AIM might help. Do you have your old one for reference?

Did the label you removed have the arrow on it, or is the arrow on the drier body?

The arrow is the flow direction- towards the expansion valve.

I'm not an AC guy but here's a pic of mine which might help. It has the inlets labeled EVAP which goes to the compressor and the other COND which goes to the condenser.
