Sporlan 401021 C-163-S Filter Drier

The Sporlan 401021 C-163-S Filter Drier is an industry-standard liquid line filter drier engineered for high-capacity contaminant control in residential and commercial HVACR applications. This Catch-All series drier features a 16 cubic inch molded porous core, designed to perform multi-stage filtration by adsorbing moisture and neutralizing harmful acids like hydrochloric and hydrofluoric before they damage the compressor or plug the expansion valve. With a 3/8" ODF solder connection (sweat), this unit ensures a leak-free, high-integrity joint in refrigeration systems containing HCFC, HFC, and HFO refrigerants, including high-pressure R-410A applications up to 650 psig. The solid copper fittings facilitate rapid installation and superior heat transfer during the brazing process. As a veteran-preferred component for liquid line protection, the C-163-S provides high water and acid capacity, maintaining system chemistry and preventing the formation of oil sludge and varnish in the refrigeration circuit.

• Optimized Contaminant Removal: Effectively captures scale, solder particles, and carbon debris to protect critical TEV and compressor components.
• Universal Refrigerant Compatibility: Rated for use with R-134a, R-22, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and various HFO blends.
• High Pressure Durability: UL Listed for a maximum working pressure of 650 psi, making it suitable for modern high-pressure systems.
• Superior Acid Neutralization: Specialized desiccant blend prevents acid buildup, which is essential after a system burnout or during routine maintenance.
• Reduced Pressure Drop: Large internal surface area ensures efficient filtration without compromising system flow rates or capacity.

• Is the Sporlan C-163-S compatible with R-410A systems? Yes, this model is UL Listed for 650 psig, specifically meeting the requirements for high-pressure R-410A and sub-critical CO2 applications.
• Does this filter drier use flare or sweat connections? The C-163-S features 3/8" ODF solder (sweat) connections. For the flare version, you would typically look for the C-163 model.
• Can this unit be used for system clean-up after a compressor burnout? While the C-163-S is excellent for system protection, for severe burnouts, technicians often utilize the "HH" core version or add an oversized suction line drier for complete cleanup.
