Danfoss 023Z5029 Filter Drier

The Danfoss 023Z5029, also identified as the DCL163S, is a high-performance liquid line filter drier designed for 3/8" sweat ODF connections. Engineered for systems utilizing HCFC and HFC refrigerants such as R22, R134a, R404A, and R410A, this unit features a solid core composition consisting of 80% molecular sieve and 20% activated alumina. This specific ratio ensures maximum moisture absorption and efficient acid neutralization, protecting the thermal expansion valve and compressor from premature failure due to system contamination. With a 16-cubic-inch housing, it provides high drying capacity while maintaining a low pressure drop, even in high-pressure HVACR refrigeration cycles. The powder-coated finish and corrosion-resistant steel shell make it a reliable choice for demanding commercial and industrial environments. This hermetic filter drier is essential for maintaining system dehydration and preventing the formation of ice crystals or corrosive sludge within the refrigerant circuit.

• Dual-Action Filtration: The 20% activated alumina core effectively adsorbs organic acids and contaminants, while the 80% molecular sieve handles high moisture loads.
• Optimized Flow: Designed to minimize pressure drop, ensuring the system maintains peak thermodynamic efficiency.
• Interchangeable Design: Fully compatible as a direct replacement for the DCL163S model, simplifying inventory and field replacements.
• Durable Construction: High-burst pressure rating suitable for modern high-pressure refrigerants like R410A.
• Solder Connections: Precision 3/8" ODF sweat ports for secure, leak-free installation in the liquid line.

What is the difference between Danfoss DML and DCL series?
The DCL series, including the 023Z5029, contains activated alumina for acid removal, making it ideal for systems after a compressor burnout. The DML series is 100% molecular sieve, primarily for moisture removal in new installations.

Which refrigerants are compatible with the DCL163S?
This HVAC filter drier is compatible with most HCFC and HFC refrigerants, including R22, R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A, and R507.

Can this filter drier be installed in any orientation?
While flow direction is critical (indicated by the arrow on the label), it is best practice to install it vertically with the flow pointing down to ensure proper refrigerant distribution through the solid core.
