Why Use a Filter Drier?
Moisture and contaminants in a refrigerant circuit are among the leading causes of system failure. A quality filter drier like the Sporlan 401216 acts as the system’s first line of defense — trapping harmful particles and moisture before they can damage compressor valves, clog expansion devices, or cause acid burnout. Regular replacement of the filter drier during service calls is a best practice for maintaining system efficiency and reliability.
Typical Applications
- Residential and light commercial air conditioning systems
- Refrigeration equipment liquid lines
- New system installations and system retrofits
- Post-compressor burnout cleanup procedures
