Trane DHY1473 Filter Drier
The Trane DHY1473 is a high-capacity liquid line filter drier engineered to maintain system chemistry and protect critical components like expansion valves and compressors from premature failure. Featuring a 1/2" ODF sweat connection, this 16 cubic inch steel drier is a rugged, field-ready solution for residential and light commercial HVACR applications. Veteran techs recognize the Trane DHY1473 as the direct OEM replacement for the discontinued DHY0152 and the older DHY00095, ensuring a seamless drop-in fit without the need for line modifications.
Designed for multi-refrigerant compatibility, this drier is rated for use with R-410A, R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-507. Its solid core desiccant provides high-efficiency moisture and acid removal, which is vital after a compressor burnout or anytime the refrigeration circuit is opened for service. With a 11.4-ton capacity and an operating temperature range of -40°F to 160°F, the DHY1473 maintains a low pressure drop to preserve system subcooling and maximize total cooling efficiency.
Key Benefits- Direct OEM Replacement: Replaces Trane DHY0152 and DHY00095 with exact specifications.
- High Debris Capacity: The 16 cubic inch core traps copper shavings, slag, and 25-micron particulate efficiently.
- Robust Construction: Corrosion-resistant steel shell with 1/2" ODF connections for a leak-proof braze.
- Chemical Protection: Advanced desiccant mix formulated for superior acid neutralization and moisture adsorption.
- Universal Refrigerant Support: Optimized for modern high-pressure R-410A and legacy refrigerants.
Is the DHY1473 bi-directional for heat pump applications?
No, this is a standard liquid line drier designed for one-way flow only. Always verify the flow arrow on the shell points toward the metering device during installation.
What is the maximum allowable pressure drop for this drier?
In a properly functioning system, the pressure drop across the DHY1473 should not exceed 2-3 psi. A temperature differential between the inlet and outlet often indicates a restricted core that requires replacement.
Does this drier come with a moisture indicator?
This model is a standard filter drier. For real-time monitoring of moisture levels, we recommend installing a liquid line sight glass immediately downstream of the drier outlet.
