Parker 033199-163 Filter Drier
The Parker 033199-163 Filter Drier is a high-capacity Gold Label Liquid Line Filter Drier designed for demanding commercial refrigeration and HVAC applications. Engineered with a 16 cubic inch solid core desiccant, this LLD163 model provides superior moisture and acid removal to maintain system chemistry and prevent compressor failure. It features a 3/8" SAE flare connection, facilitating a secure, leak-proof seal without the need for brazing in the field. Built to handle a 650 PSI max pressure, it is fully compatible with modern high-pressure refrigerants, including R-410A, R-134a, R-22, and R-404A, as well as POE and mineral oils. The powder paint finish has undergone 500-hour salt spray testing to ensure corrosion resistance in harsh environmental conditions. For technicians, the Parker 163 filter drier offers a reliable filtration solution for systems ranging from 1 to 5 tons, effectively capturing solid debris and contaminants that can clog thermal expansion valves (TXV).
Key Benefits
- Maximum Filtration Efficiency: The 16 cubic inch desiccant core provides significant moisture absorption and acid neutralization to keep the liquid line clean.
- Broad Refrigerant Compatibility: Suitable for use with CFC, HCFC, and HFC blends, making it a versatile choice for mixed-fleet maintenance.
- Rugged Construction: Durable steel shell with a high-pressure rating of 650 PSIG provides safety and reliability in R410A systems.
- Ease of Installation: Standard 3/8 inch flare fittings allow for quick mechanical connection, reducing downtime during preventative maintenance or service calls.
- Corrosion Protection: Epoxy powder coating ensures the unit withstands moisture and corrosive atmospheres found in rooftop or coastal installations.
Common Questions
Is the Parker 033199-163 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, this liquid line filter drier is UL listed for a high working pressure of 650 PSI, making it ideal for the high-pressure requirements of R-410A and other modern refrigerants.
What is the difference between the 163 and 163S models?
The standard 163 model uses 3/8" SAE male flare connections. If you require a sweat-style connection for brazing, you would typically look for the "S" (ODF) suffix in the Parker LLD series.
Can this filter drier be used for burnout clean-up?
While the Parker LLD163 provides exceptional contaminant control, for severe compressor burnouts, technicians may prefer specialized high-acid suction line driers; however, this gold label unit excels at standard moisture and acid removal during normal system operation.
