Danfoss DCL 165 Hermetic Filter Drier | 5/8 in Flare | 023Z501091

Product Description: The DCL 165 (023Z501091) is engineered for systems operating under the stressful thermal conditions typical of the Middle East. With its 16 cubic inch solid core—composed of 80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina—it provides a dual-action defense. In the UAE, where high condensing temperatures can cause refrigerant and oil to break down into harmful acids, the activated alumina component is critical for preventing compressor failure. The 5/8 inch flare connections allow for high mass flow with minimal pressure drop, making it an ideal choice for medium-to-large cooling units in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Hybrid Core Technology: Combines high-capacity moisture adsorption with effective acid neutralization to ensure long-term system stability.
• Large Connection Size: The 5/8 inch SAE flare ends accommodate larger liquid lines, ensuring efficient flow for higher-tonnage UAE cooling applications.
• Optimized for Extreme Heat: Specifically designed to maintain performance in environments with high condensing temperatures.
• Superior Filtration: A 25 $\mu$m internal filter prevents solid particles from reaching and clogging expansion valves or other sensitive orifices.
• Rugged Construction: The powder-painted steel shell provides excellent corrosion resistance against the UAE’s humid and saline coastal air.

FAQs:

• Q: Is this drier suitable for R410A systems in the UAE?
• A: Yes, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 46 bar, making it fully compatible with high-pressure R410A and R32 systems.
• Q: Can I use this on a suction line?
• A: No, DCL filter driers are designed specifically for the liquid line. For suction side acid removal, use the Danfoss DAS series.
• Q: Does it include flare nuts?
• A: Flare nuts are typically not included with the drier and should be sized according to the copper tubing being used in your UAE installation.
