Danfoss DCL 163s Hermetic Filter Drier | 3/8 in Solder ODF | 023Z502991

Product Description: The DCL 163s (023Z502991) is engineered for systems that demand high moisture and acid adsorption reserve. In the UAE—where cooling systems for supermarkets and office buildings are subject to extreme thermal stress—the DCL’s solid core (80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina) is essential. While the molecular sieve keeps the system bone-dry, the activated alumina neutralizes acids that form when refrigerants and oils degrade in the Middle Eastern heat. The copper-plated solder ends are highly valued by UAE contractors for providing a fast, leak-proof, and permanent brazed joint that withstands high-vibration environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual-Action Solid Core: Combines high moisture removal with acid adsorption, preventing compressor motor burnout and system corrosion.
• Large 16 cu.in. Capacity: Provides a high reserve of desiccant, making it ideal for larger systems or environments with high humidity like Dubai and Sharjah.
• Copper-Plated Connectors: Facilitates superior brazing quality for a permanent, vibration-resistant seal compared to mechanical flare fittings.
• High-Pressure Rating: Rated for 46 bar (667 psig), making it fully compatible with R410A, R32, and other high-pressure refrigerants used in the UAE.
• Built-in 25 $\mu$m Filter: Protects expansion valves and capillary tubes from solid contaminants and debris.

FAQs:

• Q: Why choose the 163s over the 083s in the UAE?
• A: The 16 cu.in. core (163s) has double the adsorption capacity of the 8 cu.in. model, offering longer protection and more safety margin for high-value UAE cooling systems.
• Q: Can this be used for R404A freezer systems?
• A: Yes, the DCL series is fully compatible with R404A and common POE oils used in UAE cold storage.
• Q: Is it okay to install this vertically?
• A: Yes, it can be installed in any orientation as long as the flow direction follows the arrow on the label.
