filter drier with r290?

Does r290 need to have a filter drier?

Yes - All refrigeration circuits benefit from filtration and moisture removal in the liquid line.

Well, if you used driers with this refrigerant you would be continually changing driers and re-charging refrigerant wouldn't you?:D

Indeed.
It'd be kinda counter productive.;)

Anyone else noticed that we seem to get more drier breakups/blockages on Care refrigerants than normal refrigerent R134/404 etc

I'm just a dumb Antipedian fridgy, care to explain?

But that would involve getting up off my a... Oh. no it wouldn't. OK.

I find the concept of charging a commercial A/C or Refrig system with a gas that, if it were to leak into a building, will explode in the correct concentration, a tad disturbing.
It sounds like a step back to the bad old days of methyl chloride.
