Danfoss SGN 10s Sight Glass & Moisture Indicator | 3/8 in Solder ODF | 014-0182
Product Description:
The SGN 10s (014-0182) provides a clear window into the heart of the refrigeration cycle. In the UAE—where high ambient temperatures put extreme stress on cooling systems—monitoring for moisture is critical to prevent acid formation and compressor damage. The SGN features a sensitive color indicator that changes from green (dry) to yellow (wet) based on the moisture content of the refrigerant. The 3/8 inch solder (ODF) connections allow for a permanent, leak-proof brazed installation, which is preferred for the high-vibration environments typical of Dubai’s commercial rooftop units and industrial chillers. Its large viewing window also allows technicians to easily spot bubbles in the liquid line, indicating a low refrigerant charge or a restriction in the filter drier.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Clear Moisture Indication: Features a high-accuracy indicator paper that reacts to even low levels of moisture, providing early warning for system maintenance.
- Large Viewing Window: Designed for maximum visibility, allowing UAE technicians to quickly check for flash gas or bubbles in the liquid line.
- 46 Bar Working Pressure: Fully optimized for high-pressure refrigerants like R410A and R32, which are standard in modern Middle Eastern HVAC infrastructure.
- Corrosion Resistant: Built with high-quality brass body to withstand the humid and saline air found in coastal areas like Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
- Solder (ODF) Connection: Provides a robust, permanent joint that eliminates the leak risks associated with mechanical flare fittings under thermal expansion.

FAQs:
- Q: Does the indicator change back to green if the system is dried?
- A: Yes, the indicator is reversible. Once a new filter drier removes the moisture, the SGN indicator will return to green.
- Q: Is this sight glass compatible with POE oil used in the UAE?
- A: Absolutely. The SGN series is specifically designed for use with HFC refrigerants and POE/PAG oils.
- Q: Where should I install the SGN 10s?
- A: It should always be installed in the liquid line, ideally after the filter drier, to ensure the refrigerant reaching the expansion valve is dry and bubble-free.
