Sporlan 401029 C-165-S-T-HH Filter Drier

The Sporlan 401029 C-165-S-T-HH is a high-performance suction line filter drier engineered for critical system clean-up following a hermetic motor burnout. Featuring a 5/8 ODF solder connection and a 16 cubic inch desiccant volume, this Catch-All filter drier utilizes a specialized HH core. This molded porous core is a technician’s first choice for wax removal and the adsorption of oil decomposition products like varnish and sludge. Unlike standard liquid line driers, the HH style core integrates activated charcoal alongside high-capacity molecular sieve and activated alumina, specifically formulated to tackle acid removal and organic contaminants that otherwise compromise compressor efficiency.

The C-165-S-T-HH includes a built-in Schrader type pressure tap on the inlet, allowing contractors to accurately measure pressure drop during the clean-up process. This ensures the HVAC filtration is functioning optimally without starving the compressor of refrigerant. Designed for compatibility with all common HCFC and HFC refrigerants, this sealed model provides a rugged solution for maintaining low-temperature systems where lubricant breakdown is suspected. Installing this refrigerant filter is a mandatory step in professional restorative maintenance to protect your new compressor from residual contaminants.

• Maximum Contaminant Control: The HH core specifically targets wax removal and harmful varnish, preventing capillary tube and TEV plugging.
• Superior Acid Neutralization: Formulated for high acid removal capacity, protecting the system from the corrosive effects of moisture and lubricant breakdown.
• Integrated Pressure Port: Includes a factory-installed pressure tap for monitoring pressure drop, ensuring clean-up is progressing without restricting flow.
• Rugged Sealed Construction: Durable, leak-proof shell with solid copper 5/8 ODF fittings for reliable HVACR field installation.

When should the C-165-S-T-HH be replaced?
This suction line filter is primarily for system clean-up. Monitor the pressure drop using the integrated tap. If the drop exceeds 2 PSI on a permanent installation or shows significant restriction after a burnout, the drier is saturated with contaminants and must be replaced.

Is this drier compatible with POE oil?
Yes, the Sporlan C-165-S-T-HH is fully compatible with HCFC and HFC refrigerants using either Mineral or Polyolester (POE) lubricants, making it a versatile choice for modern refrigeration systems.

Why use a suction drier instead of a liquid line drier for burnouts?
A suction line filter drier is positioned to protect the compressor directly by catching acid and sludge before they enter the crankcase, which is vital for long-term reliability after a motor failure.
