Avantco 970C052S Refrigerant Filter Drier 1/4 in Odf

Product Description

The AVANTCO 970C052S is a replacement refrigerant filter drier designed for use in refrigeration systems requiring a 1/4 inch ODF connection. Filter driers serve a dual purpose: they remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit, protecting compressors, metering devices, and other system components from corrosion and blockage. This unit contains 5 cubic inches of desiccant material, providing reliable moisture absorption capacity suited to the system size it serves. It is installed by qualified refrigeration technicians during routine maintenance or after a system repair that may have introduced moisture into the circuit.

This filter drier is intended for use in commercial refrigeration applications, specifically as a replacement component for AVANTCO RTS Series refrigeration equipment. It is well suited to light commercial refrigeration systems where a compact, 1/4 inch ODF drier is specified. Technicians typically install this part during compressor replacement, refrigerant line service, or any repair that requires opening the sealed refrigerant system. Its compact desiccant volume is matched to the charge and line volume typical of small commercial reach-in or display refrigeration units.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement filter drier for AVANTCO RTS Series refrigeration equipment with 1/4 inch ODF refrigerant line connections. Referenced as a replacement for part C-052-S.

Installation Notes

Filter drier replacement is performed by EPA 608-certified refrigeration or HVAC technicians, as the work involves recovering, handling, and recharging refrigerants. Always recover refrigerant from the system before opening any refrigerant lines. The drier should be installed with attention to flow direction if directional markings are present, and the system should be evacuated to proper micron levels before recharging. Do not leave a replacement drier exposed to open air for extended periods, as the desiccant will absorb ambient moisture before installation.
