Sporlan 401030 C-166-S-T-HH Filter Drier

The Sporlan 401030 C-166-S-T-HH is a high-capacity suction line filter drier engineered for critical system cleanup following a compressor burnout. Featuring a 16 cubic inch charcoal-style HH core, this drier is specifically designed to remove wax, acids, and moisture that can lead to repeat failures. The 3/4 ODF solder connections provide a reliable, leak-proof transition in the refrigerant circuit. Compatible with both CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, this Sporlan C-166-S-T-HH utilizes an activated charcoal blend to neutralize deleterious contaminants. Often cross-referenced as the S1-401030, this unit includes an access valve (T) for measuring pressure drop across the core, ensuring technicians can accurately monitor refrigerant flow restriction. For contractors performing refrigeration system cleanup, this bi-directional capable drier offers the necessary internal filtration to protect new compressors from residual acid circulation in the oil.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• HH Core Technology: Utilizes a specialized charcoal blend for maximum acid and wax removal during post-burnout recovery.
• Internal Bypass Protection: Designed to handle high-velocity suction gas without compromising filtration efficiency.
• Service Access: Includes a Schrader access valve for precise pressure drop diagnostics.
• Copper Connections: 3/4 inch ODF extended ends allow for easy brazing without overheating the internal dessicant.
• Broad Compatibility: Suitable for use with R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A systems.

Common Installation Questions:

Can the Sporlan C-166-S-T-HH be used on the liquid line?
No, this is a dedicated suction line drier specifically designed to protect the compressor. Installing this on the liquid line may cause excessive pressure drop and reduced system capacity.

What is the purpose of the charcoal core?
The HH style core contains activated charcoal to adsorb wax and organic acids that standard dessicant driers cannot trap, which is essential after a motor burnout.

How do I know when to replace this filter drier?
Technicians should monitor the pressure drop across the suction line drier using the access port. If the pressure drop exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended limit (typically 2-3 psi for air conditioning), the drier has reached capacity and requires replacement.
