ELIMINATOR® Hermetic bi-flow filter drier

Types DMB and DCB

Hermetic bi-flow filter driers, types DMB and DCB

are for use in liquid lines on heat pumps.

Hermetic bi-flow filter driers have built-in check

valves which ensure that refrigerant liquid always
flows through the filter driers from the outer side
of the filter core towards the center.
Thus all dirt particles are retained irrespective of
flow direction.

DMB and DCB filter driers ensure fast and

effective adsorption of moisture as well as
organic and inorganic acids.

When building heat pump systems, the use of

bi-flow filters can, depending on the type of
system, save up to ten solder connections.
This reduces production costs and the number of
potential leakage points.

Available with flare and solder (pure copper)

connections.

For other connections please contact your

Danfoss Sales Representative.

) DCB Hermetic filter driers contain activated alumina, which is a polar material used for acid adsorption. Many oil additives
are also polar substances and can be adsorbed by the activated alumina, rendering them useless, and reducing the drier’s acid
capacity, though this is not harmful to the system

Selection example Select the appropriate type (DMB or DCB) based c. Result
on refrigerant and oil type. DMB 164 or DMB 165 can be used
Then select the drier size based on the
adsorption and liquid capacity required. If the initial moisture content is very small or a
planned change of the filter drier considered, a
a. Amount of charge: 15 kg R134a at tL = 24 °C smaller filter drier size can be chosen.
To dry 15 kg R134a at 24 °C from 1050 to
60 ppm moisture, a DMB 16 is necessary

b. Cooling capacity: Qe = 25 kW To obtain a mass

with a DMB 16 filter drier, a ½ inch connection
must be chosen. Larger connections can be
