Product Description
The DELFIELD 3516227 is a filter drier designed for commercial refrigeration systems. Filter driers serve two critical functions: they remove moisture from the refrigerant circuit and capture particulate contamination that can damage compressors, expansion valves, and other precision components. With a 5 cubic inch capacity, this unit is sized for the refrigeration circuits commonly found in commercial foodservice equipment. Installation is performed by licensed refrigeration technicians as part of routine maintenance or following a system repair that exposed the refrigerant circuit to atmosphere.
This filter drier is a Delfield OEM part, cross-referenced as C-053-S in supplier documentation. It is intended for use in commercial refrigeration equipment bearing the Delfield brand, including reach-in coolers, prep tables, and undercounter refrigeration units common in foodservice environments. Filter drier replacement is a standard step any time the refrigerant circuit is opened, when moisture contamination is suspected, or when a compressor is replaced.
Key Features
- 5 cubic inch desiccant capacity for moisture and contaminant removal
- OEM Delfield replacement part, cross-reference C-053-S
- Protects compressors and metering devices from moisture and debris
- Designed for commercial refrigeration circuit service
Compatibility
OEM-style replacement filter drier for Delfield commercial refrigeration equipment. Cross-referenced as C-053-S. Verify fitment against the specific unit model and refrigerant circuit configuration before installation.
Installation Notes
Filter drier replacement must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified technician using proper refrigerant recovery equipment. The refrigerant circuit must be fully recovered and depressurized before removing the existing drier. Flow direction matters — install the drier with the flow arrow oriented toward the metering device. Always replace the filter drier any time the system is opened to atmosphere to prevent moisture-related system failures.
