Danfoss DCL 032s Hermetic Filter Drier | 1/4 in Solder ODF | 023Z501391

Product Description: The DCL 032s (023Z501391) is engineered for applications where space is limited but system protection is critical. In the UAE—where high ambient temperatures accelerate the chemical breakdown of refrigerants—the DCL’s solid core (80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina) provides essential dual-action protection. While the molecular sieve removes moisture, the activated alumina adsorbs harmful acids that can lead to compressor motor burnout. The copper-plated solder ends make this model a favorite for UAE technicians, as they allow for easy, high-quality brazing that withstands the high pressures and vibrations common in Dubai’s residential cooling units.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Hybrid Core Protection: Effectively removes both moisture and acids, a vital combination for systems operating in the intense Middle Eastern heat.
• Copper-Plated Connectors: Facilitates fast and reliable soldering (brazing), ensuring a permanent, leak-proof joint compared to traditional flare fittings.
• High Pressure Rating: Tested for working pressures up to 46 bar (667 psig), making it fully compatible with R410A and R32 systems used in the UAE.
• Compact 03 cu.in. Size: Ideal for small commercial coolers, ice machines, and residential split systems where installation space is tight.
• Effective Filtration: A 25 $\mu$m filter traps solid particles to protect expansion valves and capillary tubes from clogging.

FAQs:

• Q: Why choose the copper-plated solder version (032s) in the UAE?
• A: Solder connections are preferred for permanent installs where vibration might cause flare nuts to leak. The copper plating ensures a better bond during the brazing process.
• Q: Can I use this for a 1.5-ton split AC in Dubai?
• A: While it fits 1/4 inch lines, ensure the “03” cu.in. capacity matches the manufacturer’s specification for that specific cooling load.
• Q: Is it compatible with the latest low-GWP refrigerants?
• A: Yes, it is compatible with most HFC and HFO refrigerants, including R32, which is becoming standard in the UAE.
