SCMI165MM - GMC FILTER DRIER 5/8'' x 5/8'' 250 cm³

MOLECULAR SIEVE WITH LIQUID AND MOISTURE INDICATOR

Function:

The function of an indicator filter is to protect the system from humidity, acids, and solid contaminants; this filter is installed on the liquid line. The presence of humidity, immediately highlighted by the associated indicator, can cause ice to form; under normal charging and system operating conditions, the refrigerant should pass through the indicator in a completely liquid state. The presence of bubbles indicates partial evaporation of the fluid along the liquid line.

Construction:

All indicator filter models have a body and head made of UNI EN 10130 – DC04 steel. The two parts are assembled using MIG welding. In this type of filter, the desiccant charge is composed of a single, compact block made of 100% 3 Å molecular sieve. This cartridge is coupled with a special type of felt that allows for efficient mechanical filtration combined with low resistance to fluid motion, thus improving dehydration effectiveness. The presence of the indicator downstream of the filter instantly guarantees the filter's true effectiveness. The indicator is characterised by a humidity-sensitive element, whose colour varies from green to yellow in the presence of humidity in the system; yellow indicates that it is time to replace the desiccant filter. The production range includes versions with SAE Flare threaded connections and copper-plated steel weld connections.

Installation:

To optimize filter performance, we recommend mounting it with its longitudinal axis vertical, with the arrow pointing downward. Filters are so important to the system that we recommend scheduled maintenance to ensure their efficiency and ensure proper system operation.
