Liquid drier bypass
Hi
I was starting up one york chiller about year ago and saw that there is liquid drier bypass without any stopvalves in it.
I'm just wondering why is that build in there?

Re: Liquid drier bypass

Re: Liquid drier bypass
Seen a similar set up on a Daikin VRF pipe schematic. It was confirmed to me that some of the refrigerant went through the drier and some bypassed it - still a bit bafflled as to why someone dreamed that idea up.
Cheers,
Andy.Health and safety first..........unless I'm in a hurry.

Re: Liquid drier bypass
Drier looks undersized for size of liquid line, saves them fitting a removable drier core housing?
alMostly found in the southern part of this green and pleasant land.

Re: Liquid drier bypass
They preempted the drier blocking so that it does not interrupt flow. On the later versions no doubt they changed it a little to fix some unanticipated flaws...............

Re: Liquid drier bypass
Na...you're all wrong. Thats a handle for lifting out the drier assembly. Can't you see its very heavy.

Re: Liquid drier bypass
Can't be that heavy. It is a Danfoss, and they are so light they make lousy fishing sinkers.....
