Why Use a Liquid Line Filter Drier?
Liquid line filter driers are a critical component in any refrigerant circuit. They serve a dual purpose: removing moisture that can cause freeze-ups and acid formation, and filtering out solid contaminants that can damage metering devices and compressor valves. The Copeland EK164S combines desiccant drying with 20-micron mechanical filtration to deliver clean, dry refrigerant to the expansion device and evaporator.
Ideal Applications
- Residential and light commercial air conditioning systems
- Refrigeration systems requiring high-pressure-rated components
- New system installations and post-compressor-burnout cleanups
- Systems requiring moisture and acid removal from the refrigerant circuit
Installation Notes
- Install in the liquid line with the flow arrow pointing toward the metering device
- 1/2″ sweat connections allow for clean, leak-free brazed installation
- Replace after any compressor burnout or system contamination event
- Always follow system manufacturer guidelines for filter drier sizing and replacement intervals
