Sporlan 450293-001 Drier

The Sporlan 450293-001 Drier is a high-performance 165S 5/8" ODF Liquid Line Drier engineered for professional-grade moisture and acid removal in commercial and residential systems. As the direct updated version of the 450133-001 and a drop-in replacement for the Danfoss 023Z5068, this Catch-All series unit utilizes a porous molded core to ensure maximum filtration of solid debris, protecting the TXV and compressor from premature failure. Designed with 16 cubic inches of desiccant volume, it maintains a low pressure drop while effectively scavenging water and organic acids from various refrigerants including R-410A, R-22, and R-404A. The 5/8" ODF solder connections feature solid copper ends for simplified brazing. Field technicians rely on the C-165-S for its superior ability to handle polyolester (POE) oils and maintain system chemistry without stripping essential additives, ensuring the long-term reliability of the liquid line circuit.

Key Benefits:

• Optimized Contaminant Control: The premium molded core captures physical particulates, moisture, and acid to prevent system contamination issues.
• Universal Compatibility: Fully compatible with modern HFC, HCFC, and CFC refrigerants, including R-410A and high-efficiency HFC blends.
• Durable Construction: Features a 650 PSIG design pressure and an epoxy powder coating that exceeds 500-hour salt spray testing for corrosion resistance.
• Service Direct Replacement: Serves as the official successor to 450133-001 and provides exact fitment for Danfoss DML165S (023Z5068) specifications.

Common Questions:

What is the maximum tonnage rating for this drier?
The Sporlan C-165-S is typically rated for systems between 3 to 6 tons, depending on the refrigerant type and the required pressure drop at the liquid line.

Is this unit bi-directional for heat pump applications?
The standard 450293-001 is a uni-directional liquid line drier. For heat pump systems where flow reverses, a bi-flow HPC series drier is recommended unless external check valves are utilized.

When should this liquid line drier be replaced during service?
Industry best practice dictates replacing the drier anytime the refrigerant circuit is opened for repair, if a pressure drop exceeding 3 PSI is detected across the unit, or if a moisture indicator shows high saturation levels.
