An integrated condenser/receiver unit including a filter insert. The filter insert extends just beyond a refrigerant inlet of the receiver and is formed from a unitary plastic body having a flow-deflection portion and a filter portion. The flow-deflection portion is located opposite the refrigerant inlet of the receiver housing to prevent the refrigerant flow from the inlet from directly impinging a desiccant charge contained within the receiver housing. A method is provided for forming the condenser/receiver wherein a desiccant and filter are inserted into the receiver housing after the remainder of the condenser/receiver has been brazed together as a unit, and after insertion of the desiccant and filter, an end cap is metallurgically bonded to the receiver housing to close the same.
