HeldonIntroduction New refrigerants and synthetic oils (such as POE/PAG) demand a
more precise operating environment than ever before. Excessive
moisture and contamination levels can quickly lead to a loss
of refrigeration capacity, system efficiency or even breakdown.
The Solution?
Trust in time-tested Heldon Filter Driers/Drier Cores to offer
reliable, long lasting protection, for both food service and
air conditioning applications, whether new installation, field
replacement or retrofit.
The First Line of System ProtectionThe Filter Drier/Drier Core in a refrigeration or air conditioning
system is often referred to as the system protector, because it
removes harmful elements from the circulating refrigerants and
lubricants before serious damage results.
The Filter Driers/Drier Cores Function
The primary contaminants which Filter Driers/Drier Cores
are expected to remove are:
1. Moisture.
2. Acids.
3. Solid contaminants such as metal filings, flux, dirt,
oxides and wax.
4. Sludges and Varnish.
1. MoistureMoisture or water can come from many sources:
• Improper dehydration of new equipment.
• Improper field assembly or poor service procedures.
• Refrigerant leaks.
• Wet refrigerant.
• Wet oil, Poly-ol Ester (POE) which is much more “moisture loving”
(hygroscopic) than mineral oils.
*Note that if the moisture content of the POE oil is greater than
75 PPM (parts per million), the POE reverts back to its original
chemical – an alcohol and an organic acid. Alcohol reduces
the Filter Drier's effectiveness with water and acid attacks the
refrigeration system's internals.
A leading international compressor manufacturer’s experience
with Poly-ol Ester Oil is presented in Fig. 1.
The seriousness of POE’s hygroscopic nature is depicted as the
compressor with its oil, moves its way from manufacture, to rack
fabrication, to field installation and finally comissioning.
For the most cost effective method of removing the harmful effects
of moisture, simply choose a Heldon Filter Drier/Drier Core.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION - FILTER DRIERS/DRIER CORES
HeldonFigure 1.
2. AcidsAcids are formed by a combination of refrigerants being heated
to elevated temperatures and the presence of high moisture
content in the system. This Hydrolysis forms both Hydrochloric
and Hydrofluoric (inorganic) acids. Organic acids are also created
from the lubricants breakdown in the presence of moisture.
Since acids attack and corrode the metals in a refrigeration
system, it is crucial that they be removed as quickly as possible
to minimise damage.
It is crucial to beware of the harmful effects of high discharge or
condensing temperatures on refrigeration systems, as they act
as the major catalyst in the production of acids. It is good trade
practice to replace the Filter Drier or Core whenever a system has
operated for extended periods under high operating temperatures.
Heldon Filter Driers/Cores have a critical mission to remove this
acid, prolonging the life of compressors and refrigerants.
Case Study
A recent Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) study
showed that even weak acid circulating in a refrigeration
system could reduce a compressor’s life from one million hours
to approximately 1,000 hours.

3. Solid ContaminantsThese include dirt, copper oxide scale, sludges, flux, metallic
particles etc. Such contaminates can be introduced during
manufacture, field assembly or service. They can damage
compressor cylinder walls, bearings and cause blockages of
capillary tubes or TX Valve strainers. These contaminants create
the conditions necessary for the decomposition of the refrigerant/
lubricant mixture at high temperatures.
The effective removal of contaminants is difficult due to the wide
range of particle sizes that can be encountered in a system.
A refrigeration system demands:
• Thorough low micron filtration to capture these particles.
• Guaranteed uniform porosity through the entire Filter Drier
Core.
• A core shaped to give maximum surface area with negligible
pressure drop.
• Improved filtration, long lasting results.
Heldon Filter Driers/Cores offer thorough filtration with less
chance of total core blockage.
Heldon4. Sludges and VarnishEven the cleanest system when subjected to unusually high discharge
temperatures will suffer from lubricant breakdown. Sludge, varnish
and carbon deposits are some of the by-products of this occurrence.
A refrigeration system can feature certain catalytic metals (iron
& copper) that can further contribute to the refrigerant/lubricant
mixture’s breakdown.
What is a Desiccant?Desiccant is the material used to filter and dry the refrigerant and oil.
The four most commonly used desiccants are:
• 3A Molecular Sieve (MS) - most effective against moisture.
• Activated Alumina (AL) - most effective against acid.
• Activated Carbon (AC) - most affective against sludges and varnish
• Silica Gel

HeldonHeldon’s range of system protectors, delivering
Total Filtration Management SolutionsHeldon’s range of Filter Driers /Drier Cores are manufactured from
the desiccants 3A Molecular Sieve, Activated Alumina and Activated
Carbon. The most suitable desiccant is chosen for the Filter Drier's
intended application and its location within the refrigeration system.
Heldon’s vast experience has resulted in the creation of proprietary
mixtures to target the removal of system contaminants before
they can do damage and cause breakdowns to the refrigeration
system. Designed in conjunction with the Suction Filter Element,
Heldon delivers total filtration management solutions for the benefit
of customers.
• 3A Molecular Sieve (MS)
Used for maximum moisture removal, the 3A Molecular Sieve
traps and removes water molecules from the circulating
refrigerant and oil. Tested in accord with ARI 710-86, when
installed in the Liquid Line these Filter Driers provide the
drying capacity necessary to keep the moisture content of
the circulating fluids below 75 parts per million (ppm). This
therefore avoids the creation of acids in POE oils.
Heldon’s 3A Molecular Sieve Filter Driers/Drier Cores are
suitable for the traditional refrigerants (including R717) as well
as the modern refrigerants including high pressure R410A
and CO2. 3A MS Filter Driers/Drier Cores deliver the most cost
effective means of removing the harmful effects of moisture
from the refrigeration system.
• 3A MS and Activated Alumina (AL) mixtures
For high performance moisture, acid and contaminant
removal, Heldon provides its customers with Filter Drier Cores
that contain a mixture of both 3A MS and Activated Alumina.
The Activated Alumina chemically attracts acids that may be
present in the refrigeration system, locking them away so
as to prolong the life of compressors, refrigerants, and oils.
Note that, high percentage mixes of AL are not recommended
for long term use with POE oils, as they can strip the
compressor manufacturer's oil additives from the systems
lubricant.
• 3A MS, AL and Activated Carbon (AC) mixtures
Best suited for clean up after burnout and for severely
contaminated systems plagued with moisture, acids, sludge/
varnish and other contaminant issues. Working in conjunction
with the other desiccants present in this type of Filter Drier, the
Activated Carbon cleans the operating system of the deposits
that contribute to the breakdown of refrigerant and lubricants.
When fitted, these Filter Driers/Drier Cores provide the best insurance
policy available for any compressor replaced in the field.
• Suction Core – 100% Molecular Sieve
Targets moisture & particulate removal from the suction line
before these contaminants can reach the compressor. Ideal
for commissioning purposes, these replaceable Cores feature
a unique design that delivers both low pressure drop, in
conjunction with high refrigerant flow rates.
Compressor manufacturers know that motor burnouts can be
caused by system contaminants returning down the suction
line. Foreign particles including copper oxides, metal and
copper pieces enter the compressor and become imbedded
in the motor windings themselves. As the compressor starts
and stops, these windings flex and move. The particles present
scrape the insulation of the motor windings leading to motor
burnout, system downtime and possible stock losses.
To extend the life span of the compressor, adequate filtration
is required before the suction service valve.
Specially designed for such an application, the Suction Filter
Element removes returning contaminants down to 10 microns
(Filter Beta rating = 10: ISO 4548-12). Its fluted design keeps
the collected debris safely imbedded in the filter whilst its large
surface area keeps pressure drop to a minimum.
Heldon Suction Filter Element provides the compressor with
the particulate protection it needs to prevent breakdowns
caused by a contaminated system.
Note that good trade practice dictates that the Maximum
recommended pressure drop in the Suction Line Filter for
commercial refrigeration (R134a) is 10.3 kPa.

IntroductionHeldon Bi-Flow Filter Driers offer the highest levels of protection
for heat pump air-conditioning systems. They are designed
to remove moisture, acids and solid particles that can lead to
premature component failure and harmful chemical reactions
regardless of whether the air-conditioning demand is for heating

IntroductionHeldon Burnout Filter Driers offer a high level of contaminant
removal from refrigeration and air-conditioning systems following
a compressor motor burnout. Designed to remove moisture, acids
and solid particles that can lead to the premature failure of the
replacement compressor.
Employing a solid core design, Heldon Burnout Filter Driers deliver
minimal pressure drop via total core utilisation. This results in
quicker uptake of inorganic acids and other contaminants. The
solid core itself is formed through a binding process that maximizes
surface area and protects the core from acid decomposition.
Available in both standard and short lay-in lengths these models
feature inlet and outlet access Schrader ports for the monitoring of
pressure drop. For smaller suction pressure drop critical systems,
the 3026 series is supplied with a replacement jumper tube.
Note that it is good practice to remove suction burnout driers
after performing a successful acid test, in order to prevent loss
of system performance and the risk of catalytic hydrolysis in POE
oil systems.

Burnout Filter Drier
• Designed for use after motor burnout or mechanical failure; for clean up of the most contaminated systems.
• Activated Alumina and Carbon removes acids and waxes.
• Stainless steel mesh and a post core non-woven fine Polyester Filter provide additional filtering for the best in system protection.
• Suitable for use in either the liquid or suction lines. Best practice is to install Burnout Filter Driers in the suction line to
protect the replacement compressor.
• With POE and PAG oils, burnout driers should be removed as soon as all contaminants are absorbed from the system. This will
reduce the risk of catalytic hydrolysis and the formation of new acids.
• Safe Working Pressure 4,200 kPa (610 psi).
• Fitted with dual access ports to measure pressure drop.

Heldon
IntroductionHeldon offer a complete range of 48 cu. in Drier Cores to suit many
brands of Replaceable Core Drier Shells. Heldon Drier Cores
remove system contaminates and maximise the refrigeration
systems performance.
Together with the Suction Filter Element, Heldon delivers a total
filtration management system for its customers.
Ultra-Dry®: 100% Molecular Sieve.
Employing a 3A Molecular Sieve to trap and remove water
molecules, these cores deliver maximum moisture removal.
Suitable for traditional and modern refrigerants using mineral or
synthetic oils. This includes R717 and the HP refrigerants R410A
and CO2. Use these cores to safely remove moisture before acids
can be formed.
Standard: 80% Molecular Sieve & 20% Activated Alumina.
A blend of Molecular Sieve and Activated Alumina for high
performance moisture and contaminant removal. The Activated
Alumina chemically attracts acids that may be present in the
system. Thorough low micron filtration effectively captures
particles before they can do damage.
Burn-out: 48% Activated Alumina, 45% Molecular Sieves & 5%
Activated Carbon.
For clean up after burn-outs and for highly contaminated systems
with moisture, acid, sludge and particulate issues. The Activated
Carbon cleans the system of deposits that contribute to the
breakdown of refrigerant and oils, actively prevents contaminants
from causing premature failure of the replacement compressor.

Suction Core - 100% Molecular Sieve.
Targets moisture and particulate removal from the suction line
before it can reach the compressor. Ideal for commissioning
purposes, its unique design delivers low pressure drop with high
flow rates. Uniform porosity throughout the entire filter drier core
guarantees particulate filtration & retention.
Suction Filter Element - Fluted Filter Type.
Foreign particles destroy compressor motor winding insulation
and cause burnouts. Employing a fluted design for maximum filter
surface area, particulates down to 10 Microns (Filter Beta Rating
= 10: in accordance with ISO 4548-12) are safely removed from
the system. The Suction Filter delivers maximum compressor
protection with the lowest possible pressure drop. By installing a
Heldon Suction Filter Element you are providing the compressor
with the particulate protection it needs to prevent breakdowns
caused by a contaminated system.

Heldon
Introduction Heldon offers both the "Y" Type and In-line Strainer that allows for cleaning
of the strainer element without the need to replace the whole strainer. These
are suitable for refrigerants and liquids offering protection to compressors,
pumps, meters, valves and similar mechanical equipment.
Installation of a strainer before any mechanical equipment will ensure
trouble free service and avoid the costly shutdowns, repairs or replacement
often caused by the introduction of foreign particles into the system.
The “Y” Type;
The 80 mesh filter can be removed and cleaned with solvent and
compressed air. Y strainers can be installed in the horizontal or vertical
position as long as the filter mesh is accessible. The Strainer can be
removed for cleaning without the need to cut from the system.
In-line;
Heldon manufacture brass in-line strainers for capillary systems and
feature an accessible, cleanable 100 mesh strainer.
