What is the purpose of a transport filter drier?
Transport 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.
Are transport filter driers necessary?
The right transport filter drier is essential for the cooling system to work properly. The transport filter drier is one of the basic components of the cooling system being responsible to prevent impurities and/or moisture from contaminating the control element (capillary tube or expansion valve) or the compressor itself.
Where should the transport filter drier be installed?
A filter-drier should be installed in the suction line to clean up a heat pump after severe hermetic motor burnout.
What happens if you install transport filter drier backwards?
When installing a new transport filter drier, an arrow on the transport filter drier's housing will indicate which direction refrigerant is designed to flow. If installed backwards, the transport filter drier will become useless.
