Bi-Flow Filter Drier 3/8" ODF 14cu. in. (For Burnouts)

Item
HPC-163-S-HH
  • California Prop 65

PRODUCT DETAILS

These filter-driers are easy to install — even on compact units — because they are designed for installation in the reversing liquid line. The smaller HPC-100 Series, using the standard Catch-All core, is designed specifically for new installations and for use on OEM equipment. The HPC-160-HH Series uses a larger core which includes activated charcoal for maximum performance in removing all types of contaminants that might be found in a hermetic motor burnout, or in a highly contaminated field system.

The HPC-100 Series is recommended for new installations and system clean-up on HFC refrigerant systems because of its added water capacity. For HFC system clean-up, a compact style suction line filter-drier is suggested (see page 28) in addition to an HPC-100 Series Catch-All.

While intended for use in the reversing liquid line, these driers can be used in the reversing gas line, providing the system size does not exceed one ton. Since heat pump systems can operate in the winter at very low evaporator temperatures, problems with wax can occur. The HPC-160-HH and HPC-300-HH Series Filter-Driers, with the charcoal style core, will remove wax and prevent problems with the expansion device.

In cleaning up a system after a hermetic motor burnout, follow the same general principles used on standard air conditioning systems. Always remove driers on the unit at the time of burnout. Test a sample of lubricant from the burned out compressor to see if a suction line filter-drier should be used in addition to a new liquid line drier. The HPC style reversible filter-driers can be used in the reversing liquid line, or the driers originally on the units can be replaced with similar standard Catch-All Filter-Driers.

CONSTRUCTION — Both filter-driers consist of one core in a shell with two check valves at either end. These check valves control the flow so filtration occurs on the outside of the core, regardless of the flow direction. The HPC driers do not release the dirt collected in one mode when the flow direction reverses. The reliable check valves used in these filter-driers have passed the most rigid OEM testing — no synthetic materials are used. These check valves have been thoroughly proven in field systems over a period of many years. They function well even in the presence of solid contaminants.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• A short overall length for easy installation.
• Drier operates in either flow direction with low pressure drop.
• Proven metal check valves used in construction — no synthetic materials.
• The Sporlan dependable molded core used for maximum filtration ability. When the flow direction reverses, dirt already collected remains in the filter-drier.
• A carefully engineered blend of desiccants for maximum water capacity and acid removal ability. The HPC-160 and HPC-300 Series have the HH style core with activated charcoal which offers maximum ability to remove oleoresin and other reactive chemical constituents in the lubricant.
• Same rugged construction as used in the Catch-All Series.
• Connection Inlet Size: 3/8" ODF
• Connection Outlet Size: 3/8" ODF
• Desiccant Volume: 14cu. in.
