Sporlan 401128 C-164 Filter Drier

When you're dealing with standard liquid line protection, the Sporlan 401128 C-164 Filter Drier is a staple for maintaining system chemistry and preventing TXV orifice fouling. This unit features the 16 cubic inch "Catch-All" molded porous core, which utilizes a specialized blend of desiccants to tackle the three main enemies of any circuit: moisture, organic acids, and solid debris. With a 1/2" SAE flare connection and a 650 PSI maximum working pressure, it is fully compatible with modern HFC and HFO refrigerants, including R-410A and R-134a. This is a sealed-type drier designed for high-capacity liquid line filtration, providing a filtration area of 33 square inches to ensure minimal pressure drop even as it captures scale, solder particles, and carbon sludge. For a veteran tech, it's the go-to for ensuring long-term compressor reliability in both residential and light commercial applications.

• Molded Porous Core: Provides superior filtration of solid contaminants to prevent metering device blockages.
• Acid Remediation: Effectively adsorbs hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids that lead to motor burnout.
• High Water Capacity: Reliable moisture removal keeps the system's oil stable and prevents ice formation at the expansion valve.
• Broad Refrigerant Compatibility: Rated for all common HCFC, HFC, and HFO blends, making it a versatile truck-stock item.
• Standard SAE Fittings: 1/2" flare connections allow for quick field replacement without the need for brazing in sensitive areas.

What is the flow capacity for this model?
The Sporlan C-164 is typically rated for systems ranging from 3/4 to 5 tons, depending on the specific refrigerant and evaporator temperature.

Can this drier be used for burnout clean-up?
While the standard Sporlan 401128 provides excellent contaminant control, for severe burnouts, technicians often prefer the "HH" core series which includes activated charcoal for wax and varnish removal.

Is this unit bi-directional?
No, this is a liquid line filter drier designed for single-direction flow. Always ensure the arrow on the shell points toward the expansion device during installation.
