EMERSON FDB is a hermetic filter-drier in compacted bead style
for use on liquid line.
Features
•Compacted bead style
•Hermetic design.
•Rugged steel shells
•Corrosion resistant epoxy paint
•Cushioned flow for non-turbulent performance
•Filtration first for more effective use of surface area of desiccant
•High water and acid adsorption capacity
•
High filtration capacity / efficiency
FDB
Construction / Function
Liquid line filter-
driers are often referred to as system protectors
because they remove harmful elements from the circulating
refrigerants and lubricants before serious damage results.
No matter how many precautions are taken during assembly and
installation or servi
cing of a system, contaminants can find
(generate) their way into the system. These contaminants can be
solid, such as metal swarf, flux, dust and dirt. Other equally
menacing contaminants are soluble, such as water, acid and wax.
.
FDB filter-driers incorporate a desiccant specially formulated and
blended from molecular sieves and activated alumina for
maximum moisture and acid removal capability.
The active drying material is in the form of beads or pellets. No
binding material is used to hold beads
together, but rather
compacting is performed through some type of mechanical
pressure e.g. spring. On the upstream side of the compacted
beads is a filter network which cushions flow and traps the solid
contaminants.
