Product details
Danfoss DCL 053s Hermetic Filter Drier | 3/8 in Solder ODF | 023Z501991
Product Description: The DCL 053s (023Z501991) offers a 5 cubic inch drying capacity, making it a perfect fit for small to medium commercial cooling units. In the UAE—where extreme summer temperatures can cause refrigerant oil to break down—the DCL’s specialized core (80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina) provides essential protection. While the molecular sieve handles moisture, the activated alumina adsorbs harmful acids, preventing compressor motor burnouts. The copper-plated solder ends are highly favored by UAE HVAC contractors, as they ensure a fast, leak-proof brazing process that withstands the high vibration and thermal stress typical of Middle Eastern installations.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Acid Neutralization: Specifically engineered with activated alumina to protect systems operating in high-heat environments like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
- Copper-Plated Connectors: Allows for superior brazing quality, ensuring a permanent seal that is more reliable than flare fittings in high-vibration applications.
- High-Pressure Performance: Rated for up to 46 bar (667 psig), making it fully compatible with R410A and R32 high-pressure refrigerants used in the UAE.
- 25 $\mu$m Internal Filter: Effectively traps solid particles and debris, preventing clogs in expansion valves and capillary tubes.
- Corrosion Resistant Shell: The powder-painted steel body provides long-lasting durability against the UAE’s humid and saline coastal air.

FAQs:
- Q: Why should I choose the DCL 053s over a 033s model in the UAE?
- A: The 5 cu.in. (053) core provides a larger reserve for moisture and acid adsorption compared to the 3 cu.in. model, offering better protection for slightly larger systems.
- Q: Is this drier compatible with modern HFCs used in the UAE?
- A: Yes, it is fully compatible with R410A, R134a, R404A, R407C, and R32.
- Q: Can it be installed in either direction?
- A: No, it is a unidirectional drier. Ensure the flow arrow on the shell points toward the expansion device.
