Dimensioning of Refrigeration Components - Part 3: Filter Driers
28 November 2011
Filter driers are mostly installed in liquid lines in dry expansion refrigeration plants, where they have a dual function. Firstly, they catch coarse particles of dirt and copper filings, and secondly they also bind moisture in the system. For this purpose, modern filter driers are equipped with a drying block made of 100% molecular sieve for optimum drying capacity and filtering. The filter drier should be replaced whenever work is done on the refrigeration system.
