Liquid Line Filter Drier Sporlan 1/2 inch SAE 16cu Flare Connection C-164 (F)

The Sporlan C-164 Catch-All Liquid Line Filter Drier provides high-capacity contaminant control for air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.

Its molded porous core uses a balanced desiccant blend designed to remove moisture, acids, dirt, scale, solder particles, sludge, varnish and other contaminants circulating through the refrigerant system. Refrigerant is directed through the core to provide maximum contact with the filtering and desiccant material.

The C-164 features 1/2-inch male SAE flare inlet and outlet connections, allowing installation without brazing. Its 16-cubic-inch desiccant capacity and 33-square-inch filtering area provide greater moisture and contaminant-holding capacity than smaller C-080-series filter driers.

The Catch-All core combines molecular sieve for moisture removal with activated alumina for acid and lubricant-breakdown contaminant removal. Parker also states that its molded core provides substantial filtering surface with minimal pressure drop.

Installation Note

Install the C-164 in the liquid line with refrigerant flowing in the direction indicated by the arrow on the shell. Inspect the flare surfaces and use the proper connection torque to prevent refrigerant leaks. Final selection and installation should be completed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician.

The universal acceptance of the Catch-All? Filter-Drier is due to its unique molded porous core, consisting of a blend of highly effective desiccants. The quality features built into it assure years of service on any refrigeration system.

• MOISTURE - The Catch-All Filter-Drier removes moisture from the refrigerant by adsorbing and retaining it deep within the desiccant granules. The blend of desiccants used in the Catch-All Filter-Drier are specially formulated for exceptional water removal.
• FOREIGN MATTER - The Catch-All Filter-Drier will filter out scale, solder particles, carbon, sludge, dirt or any other foreign matter with negligible pressure drop. Fine particles that would go through an ordinary strainer are removed down to a minimum size in one pass filtration. The large filtering area of the Catch-All Filter-Drier core permits it to collect a large amount of dirt without plug up.
• ACID- The Catch-All Filter-Drier is unexcelled in acid removal ability. The hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and various organic acids are adsorbed and held by the desiccant in a manner similar to the adsorption of moisture. Tests have demonstrated that the Catch-All Filter-Drier has superior acid removal ability when compared to competitive driers. This ability, along with its excellent ability toclean up the oil, is responsible for the excellent field performance in cleaning up severely contaminated systems.
• OIL SLUDGE AND VARNISH- Even the best refrigeration oils break down to produce varnish, sludge and organic acids. Only the Catch-All Filter-Drier is capable of removing these products of oil decomposition.
• SPECIAL APPLICATIONS- A special ?HH? core Catch-All Filter-Drier is available to remove wax which frequently causes difficulty on low temperature refrigeration systems. For cap tube systems, use the C-032-CAP or C-032-CAP-T Catch-All which hasfittings suitable for attaching to any size capillary tube.

Remember...It?s the CORE that counts!
