Danfoss DCL 165s Hermetic Filter Drier | 5/8 in Solder ODF | 023Z452491

Product Description:

The DCL 165s (023Z452491) is built to handle the most demanding cooling loads in the Middle East. In the UAE—where high condensing temperatures can lead to rapid refrigerant breakdown—the 20% activated alumina in the DCL’s solid core is a vital safeguard against acid formation and compressor burnout. The remaining 80% molecular sieve ensures the system remains free of moisture, even in humid coastal areas. The 5/8 inch copper-plated steel connectors allow UAE technicians to perform fast, reliable brazing on larger liquid lines while benefiting from the mechanical strength of the steel body, ensuring a leak-proof seal that withstands high-vibration commercial environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Maximum Flow Capacity: The 5/8 inch connections ensure high mass flow with minimal pressure drop, ideal for large tonnage UAE cooling systems.
• Dual-Action Solid Core: Combines superior moisture adsorption with acid neutralization to protect expensive industrial compressors.
• Copper-Plated Connectors: Facilitates a high-integrity brazed joint, providing a more reliable connection than mechanical flare fittings under thermal expansion.
• 46 Bar Working Pressure: Fully compatible with high-pressure R410A and modern R32 refrigerants used across the Emirates.
• Industrial Durability: A 25 $\mu$m filter traps solid particles, while the powder-painted shell provides excellent resistance to UAE’s humid and saline air.

FAQs:

• Q: Can this be used for 5/8″ suction lines?
• A: No, DCL driers are designed for the liquid line. For suction line acid removal, the Danfoss DAS series is recommended.
• Q: Why choose the copper-plated version (165s) in Dubai?
• A: It combines the brazing ease of copper with the strength of steel, which is essential for the high-vibration rooftop units common in the UAE.
• Q: Is it compatible with R134a systems?
• A: Yes, it is compatible with all common HFC, HCFC, and non-flammable HFO refrigerants.
