Liquid Line Filter Drier Sporlan 5/8 inch ODF 16cu Solder Connection C-165-S (F)

The Sporlan C-165-S Catch-All Liquid Line Filter Drier provides high-capacity contaminant protection for residential and commercial air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.

Its 16-cubic-inch molded porous core captures moisture, acids, dirt, scale, solder particles, sludge and other contaminants circulating through the refrigerant circuit. The desiccant package combines molecular sieve for moisture removal with activated alumina for acid and lubricant-breakdown contaminant control.

The C-165-S features solid copper 5/8-inch ODF solder connections, a sealed steel shell and a large 33-square-inch filtration area. Its higher capacity makes it appropriate for installations requiring more moisture and debris-holding ability than smaller 8-cubic-inch filter driers.

Key Features

• 5/8" ODF solder inlet and outlet
• 16 cu. in. molded desiccant core
• 33 sq. in. filtration area
• Removes moisture, acids and solid contaminants
• Helps capture sludge and lubricant-breakdown products
• Molded core directs refrigerant through the desiccant
• Helps protect compressors and metering devices
• Solid copper sweat connections
• Sealed, corrosion-resistant construction
• 650 PSIG maximum rated pressure
• Suitable for common HVAC and refrigeration applications

Parker states that the Catch-All core removes moisture, foreign material, acids, sludge and varnish while providing substantial filtering area with minimal pressure drop.

Installation Note

Install the C-165-S in the liquid line with refrigerant flowing in the direction shown by the arrows on the shell. Protect the filter drier from excessive brazing heat and complete installation according to accepted refrigeration practices.

• 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!
