Spolran 400329 C-053-S Filter Drier

When you're out in the field dealing with moisture-contaminated liquid lines, the Sporlan 400329 C-053-S Filter Drier is the technician's standard for providing deep-core filtration. This sealed liquid line drier utilizes the industry-proven Catch-All specialty molded core, which leverages a highly effective desiccant blend to neutralize hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and various organic acids that often lead to compressor burnout. Designed with 3/8" ODF solder connections, it offers a seamless fit for residential and light commercial systems, including high-pressure R-410A refrigerant applications with a maximum rated pressure of 650 psi.

The C-053-S stands out for its 5 cubic inch desiccant volume and 9 square inch filter area, allowing for substantial contaminant retention without significant pressure drop. Whether you are performing a field replacement or a new install, the porous molded core effectively traps sludge, scale, and carbon down to microns, ensuring the TEV and power head remain clear. Compatible with HCFC, HFC, and HFO refrigerants—including R-22 and R-134a—this unit is a versatile asset for any service truck focused on system reliability and long-term performance.

• Unexcelled Acid Removal: Superior desiccant blend adsorbs 10 times more acid than standard loose-fill driers to prevent oil breakdown.
• High Pressure Rating: UL listed for up to 650 psig, ensuring safety and performance in modern high-pressure systems.
• Solid Copper Fittings: 3/8" ODF solder connections facilitate easier brazing and leak-proof joints in the liquid line.
• Negligible Pressure Drop: Large internal surface area allows for maximum flow capacity (1/3 to 2 tons) without impacting system efficiency.
• Complete Contaminant Control: Captures moisture, dirt, and solder particles in a single pass to protect sensitive expansion valves.

Is the Sporlan C-053-S bidirectional?
No, this is a standard liquid line drier designed for unidirectional flow. Ensure the arrow on the shell points toward the expansion valve during installation.

What refrigerants is this drier compatible with?
The C-053-S is compatible with all major refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and R-507, as well as A2L refrigerants and POE/mineral oils.

Can this be used for burnout clean-up?
While the C-053-S has high acid capacity, for severe burnouts, technicians typically utilize the "HH" core series or a dedicated suction line drier to ensure total system decontamination.
