A more specific reason WHY you replace the receiver/dryer has to do with the fact it has a desiccant in it...if the system was open at any point enough moisture has entered it that the desiccant will be worthless...irregardless if the system was evacuated for one hour or for one month....and moisture is a bad thing in the system.
