Sporlan 400232 C-052-HH Filter Drier
The Sporlan 400232 C-052-HH is a professional-grade liquid line filter drier engineered specifically for systems prone to high levels of contamination and wax buildup. Featuring a 5 cubic inch desiccant volume and 1/4 SAE flare connections, this unit utilizes the specialized HH charcoal core to effectively neutralize acid, moisture, and varnish. Designed for the rigorous demands of refrigeration and air conditioning applications, it provides superior protection for expansion valves and compressors by capturing solid contaminants like metallic debris and sludge. The C-052-HH is chemically optimized for compatibility with HCFC, HFC, and POE lubricants, making it a reliable solution for clean-up after a compressor burnout or as preventative protection in wax-prone low-temperature systems. Its compact shell ensures efficient filtration without significant pressure drops, maintaining optimal refrigerant flow throughout the liquid line.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Active Charcoal Core: Specifically formulated to remove wax and organic acids during system clean-up.
- High Carbon Filtration: Superior acid removal capacity compared to standard molecular sieve cores.
- Versatile Compatibility: Rated for use with modern HFC refrigerants and synthetic oils.
- Durable Construction: Steel shell design provides maximum burst pressure safety and corrosion resistance.
- SAE Flare Fittings: Simplifies field installation and replacement without the need for brazing in sensitive areas.
When should I use an HH core versus a standard core?
The HH core is the industry standard for systems that have experienced a high-temperature burnout or exhibit wax accumulation in low-temp operations. Use the Sporlan C-052-HH when acid neutralization and debris filtration are the primary concerns.
Is the 400232 interchangeable with other 1/4 flare driers?
While it fits standard 1/4 inch SAE flare lines, its 5 cubic inch capacity and charcoal desiccant are optimized for specific decontamination tasks rather than just simple moisture removal.
What is the directional flow for this drier?
Check the stamped arrow on the shell; this is a unidirectional liquid line drier and must be installed in the direction of the refrigerant flow toward the expansion device.
