Sporlan 401318 C-309-S-T-HH Filter Drier
The Sporlan 401318 C-309-S-T-HH Filter Drier is a professional-grade suction line filter drier engineered specifically for system clean-up following a hermetic motor burnout. This 30 cubic inch capacity unit features the specialized HH core, which integrates a blend of activated charcoal and molded desiccants to effectively adsorb wax, sludge, and organic acids that standard driers leave behind. With 1-1/8 ODF solder connections and a built-in Schrader type access valve (T-style pressure tap) on the inlet, this drier allows for precise pressure drop monitoring, which is critical for ensuring the system is restored to peak operating parameters without excessive restriction.
Designed for compatibility with HFC, HCFC, and CFC refrigerants such as R-410A, R-22, and R-134a, the C-309-S-T-HH provides high-capacity moisture and acid removal. Its durable, leak-proof shell is rated for a maximum working pressure of 650 PSI. For those in the field replacing older components, the S1-401318 is a direct, identical replacement for the C-309-S-T-HH. This component is essential for protecting the replacement compressor from residual contaminants, ensuring the longevity of the refrigeration circuit after a major failure.
Key Benefits:
- HH Core Technology: High-performance activated charcoal blend specifically targets wax and oil breakdown products during burnout cleanup.
- Integrated Access Valve: The Schrader tap allows technicians to verify pressure drop across the suction line filter for real-time diagnostic accuracy.
- Large Filtration Surface: Provides 53 sq-in of surface area for maximum contaminant retention with minimal pressure loss.
- Versatile Refrigerant Support: Fully compatible with modern oils (POE/PAG) and a wide range of refrigerants including R404A and R407C.
- Solid Copper ODF Connections: Ensures easy, reliable brazing into the suction line.
Common Questions:
Can this be used on the liquid line?
While technically feasible, the C-309-S-T-HH is specifically optimized for suction line service to protect the compressor. Use a dedicated liquid line drier for standard moisture removal during the liquid phase.
When should this drier be removed?
As a clean-up drier, it should be replaced once the system indicates zero acid levels and the pressure drop across the unit stabilizes within the manufacturer's recommended range.
Is this compatible with R-410A?
Yes, it is rated for high-pressure R-410A systems and is effective for any HVAC 1-1/8 ODF application requiring a 30 cubic inch capacity.
