Filter driers are usually installed in the liquid line of a dry-expansion refrigeration system, where they have a dual function. First, they trap coarse particulate contamination and copper shavings, and second, they capture any moisture present in the system.

A liquid line filter drier is a component installed in a refrigeration system’s liquid line. That removes moisture and contaminants like dirt, metal shavings, and acid from the refrigerant. This protects the system’s compressor and other components from damage and is crucial for the system’s efficiency. A directional arrow on the unit indicates the correct flow, and it must be replaced if the system is opened.

Moisture removal: It removes water vapor from the refrigerant. Using a desiccant material, similar to the moisture-absorbing packs found in packaged goods.

Contaminant filtration: It filters out solid particles like dirt. Metal shavings, and acid, which can cause blockages and damage to the system.

System protection: By keeping the refrigerant clean, it helps prevent damage. To the compressor and other components, which is vital for the system’s longevity and efficiency
