Danfoss 023Z5054 Filter Drier

The Danfoss 023Z5054 Liquid Line Filter Drier, specifically the DML 083 model, is an essential component for high-pressure refrigeration systems utilizing HFC refrigerants and POE or PVE oils. Featuring a 100% molecular sieve core, this drier provides maximum moisture adsorption capacity while maintaining chemical compatibility with modern refrigerants like R-410A, R-407C, and R-134a. This unit is designed for a 3/8 inch flare connection and serves as the direct replacement for 8930279. Its solid core construction prevents the release of fines, protecting sensitive components like expansion valves and capillary tubes from clogging. For contractors performing system retrofits or repairs, the Danfoss DML 083 ensures low pressure drop and high filtration efficiency, effectively neutralizing acids and removing particulate matter to prevent compressor failure and optimize system performance in demanding HVACR applications.

Technical Benefits

• High Dehydration Capacity: The 100% molecular sieve core is optimized for HFC refrigerants, providing superior moisture removal compared to blended cores.
• Direct Interchangeability: Seamlessly replaces part number 8930279 and DML-083 factory-installed units.
• High Pressure Rated: Engineered to handle the high operating pressures of R-410A systems, with a maximum working pressure of 667 psig.
• Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a durable powder-coated exterior to withstand harsh environmental conditions in outdoor condensing units.
• Standard Fitment: The 3/8" SAE flare fittings allow for straightforward installation without the need for brazing in the field.

Common Questions

What is the difference between Danfoss DML and DCL driers?
The DML series, like the 023Z5054, uses a 100% molecular sieve core for maximum moisture capacity with HFCs. The DCL series contains activated alumina for acid adsorption, typically used with HCFC/CFC refrigerants and mineral oils.

Can this filter drier be installed in any orientation?
While it can be mounted in various positions, the arrow on the Danfoss 023Z5054 label must always point in the direction of refrigerant flow towards the expansion device.

Is the 023Z5054 compatible with R-22 systems?
Technically, while it will remove moisture, its core is optimized for HFCs. For older R-22 systems with mineral oil, a DCL series drier with acid-neutralizing capabilities is generally preferred by technicians.
