Danfoss 023Z5032 Filter Drier

The Danfoss 023Z5032 (Model DCL 164S) is a high-performance liquid line filter drier designed for effective system protection in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Featuring a 1/2" ODF solder (copper) connection, this unit utilizes a solid core composition of 80% 3A molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina. This specific ratio ensures maximum moisture absorption while maintaining high acid neutralization capacity, which is critical for protecting the compressor against chemical breakdown and lubrication failure. Engineered for flexibility, the DCL164S is compatible with HCFC, HFC, and HC refrigerants, including R22, R134a, R404A, R407C, and R410A, and supports both mineral and POE/PAG lubricants. The powder-coated finish and UL-listed construction provide superior corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. This 16-cubic-inch capacity drier is a drop-in replacement for standard 1/2" sweat residential and commercial systems requiring rigorous particulate filtration and moisture control.

• Universal Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimized for use with high-pressure refrigerants like R410A and R404A, supporting modern HVACR system maintenance.
• High-Efficiency Solid Core: Prevents system acid formation and removes contaminants down to 25 microns to ensure compressor longevity.
• Superior Desiccant Blend: High moisture capacity prevents ice formation in expansion valves and protects internal system components.
• Direct Cross-Reference: Identical specifications to the Danfoss DCL164S, facilitating easy identification and installation for service technicians.

Technical Support FAQ

Is the Danfoss 023Z5032 compatible with R410A systems?
Yes, this unit is rated for the high operating pressures of R410A and is fully compatible with synthetic POE oils used in those systems.

Can I use this drier on a suction line?
No, this is specifically a liquid line filter drier. Suction line driers require different flow characteristics and filtration properties.

What is the proper installation direction for the DCL164S?
This is a unidirectional filter drier. Ensure the flow arrow on the canister points toward the metering device (TXV or piston) to ensure proper filtration and prevent core bypass.
