Internal Design
Internally, suction line lter driers employ the
same types of elements as liquid line units. One
is the core type, in which the lter drier consists of
a rigid, cylindrical, porous core that may perform
both the lter and drier functions, or be used in
combination with a separate accordion-type lter
element.
The core type lter drier is available either in a
hermetically sealed conguration or in take-apart
designs with a replaceable element.
The latest advancement is the bead-type unit,
in which the desiccant is compacted into the shell.
This design offers several advantages over older
types, including lower pressure drop, more desic-
cant surface area, and greater capacity.
Application Tips
Using a liquid line lter drier as a suction line
lter drier is not recommended. A suction line lter
drier should provide for greater capacity than a
liquid line unit, for better compressor protection
and for less pressure drop. Two access valves
are required to measure pressure drop across the
suction line lter drier.
