Danfoss 023Z5003 Filter Drier

The Danfoss 023Z5003 (Type DCL 053) is a professional-grade liquid line filter drier engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning systems from harmful contaminants. This 05 cubic inch hermetic unit serves as a direct, drop-in replacement for the discontinued Danfoss 047603, ensuring seamless integration into existing 3/8-inch flare configurations. Built with a robust steel shell and plasma-welded construction, it maintains system integrity by preventing refrigerant loss even under high-pressure conditions up to 46 bar (667 psig).

The Eliminator 023Z5003 features a high-performance solid core composed of 80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina. This specific blend is optimized for HFC and HCFC refrigerants—including R410A, R404A, and R134a—using POE or PAG oils. While the molecular sieve aggressively targets moisture removal to prevent ice formation in expansion valves, the activated alumina provides critical acid adsorption, mitigating the risk of motor burnout in hermetic compressors. The 25-micron internal filter ensures high dirt retention with minimal pressure drop, keeping the system running at peak efficiency.

• Optimized Core Composition: The 80/20 solid core provides superior moisture and acid capacity, which is essential for systems operating at high condensing temperatures.
• Universal Compatibility: Designed for use with a wide range of refrigerants and oils, making it a versatile service part for light commercial and residential HVACR units.
• Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant powder-painted finish and solid bronze flare connections to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
• Direct Replacement: Precisely matches the specifications of the 047603 filter drier, eliminating the need for piping modifications during maintenance.

Is the Danfoss 023Z5003 compatible with R-22 systems?
Yes, the DCL series is compatible with HCFCs like R-22, as well as HFCs, and is safe for use with mineral and alkylbenzene oils.

What is the primary difference between DCL and DML driers?
The DCL (like this 023Z5003) contains activated alumina for acid removal, whereas the DML is 100% molecular sieve. For systems where acid buildup is a concern, the DCL is the preferred choice.

Can this be used on the suction line?
No, this unit is specifically engineered as a liquid line filter drier and should be installed according to the flow arrow on the label to ensure optimal filtration.
