Liquid Line Filter Drier Sporlan 1/4 inch ODF 16cu ODF Solder Connection C-162-S (F)

The Sporlan C-162-S Catch-All Liquid Line Filter Drier provides high-capacity contaminant protection for air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Its 16-cubic-inch molded porous core is designed to remove moisture, acids, dirt, scale, solder particles, carbon, sludge, and other foreign material circulating through the refrigerant circuit.

The molded core directs refrigerant through the desiccant instead of allowing it to bypass the filtering material. A built-in outlet safety filter provides additional protection against loose particles reaching the expansion valve, capillary tube, or other sensitive system components.

The C-162-S features solid copper 1/4-inch ODF solder connections, a durable welded steel shell, and a maximum working pressure of 650 PSIG. Its larger core capacity makes it suitable for installations requiring more moisture and contaminant-holding capacity than smaller 3- or 8-cubic-inch filter driers.

Compatibility and capacity vary by refrigerant, lubricant, operating temperature, and application. Final selection should follow current Parker Sporlan application data.

Installation Note

Install the C-162-S in the liquid line with refrigerant flowing in the direction indicated by the arrows on the shell. Proper sizing, brazing, evacuation, 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!
