Danfoss DCL 032s Hermetic Filter Drier | 1/4 in Solder ODF | 023Z508991

Product Description:

The DCL 032s (023Z508991) is engineered for systems that require both maximum moisture protection and acid neutralization. In the UAE—where high ambient temperatures can accelerate the breakdown of refrigerant and oil—the DCL’s core (80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina) is essential. The activated alumina specifically targets and adsorbs harmful acids, preventing compressor motor burnouts. This solder version is highly preferred by UAE contractors for residential split units and small commercial coolers where a robust, vibration-resistant connection is required to prevent refrigerant leaks in the harsh Middle Eastern climate.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Acid and Moisture Control: The hybrid core blend effectively dries the system while removing acidic contaminants, extending the life of the compressor.
• Leak-Proof Solder Connection: The 1/4 inch ODF solder ends provide a high-integrity joint, ideal for long-term reliability in Dubai’s high-vibration environments.
• High-Pressure Capability: Rated for 46 bar (667 psig), making it fully compatible with R410A and modern R32 systems common in Abu Dhabi.
• Compact Footprint: The “03” cubic inch size is perfect for installations with limited space, such as condensed condensing units.
• Corrosion Resistance: Features a powder-painted steel shell that resists the saline and humid air found along the UAE coastline.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the difference between DCL 032 and DCL 032s?
• A: The “s” suffix indicates solder (ODF) connections. The standard 032 uses flare connections. In the UAE, solder is often preferred for permanent, leak-free builds.
• Q: Can this be used on the suction line?
• A: No, this is a liquid line filter drier. For suction side protection in the UAE, you should use the DAS (Acid) or DASY series.
• Q: Is it suitable for R32 refrigerant?
• A: Yes, its 46-bar rating makes it perfect for R32, which is becoming increasingly common in the UAE’s new energy-efficient AC units.
