Data Sheet
Hermetic bi-flow filter drier
Type DMB and DCB
DMB and DCB are for use in liquid lines on heat pumps.
Hermetic bi-ow lter driers, types DMB and
DCB are for use in liquid lines on heat pumps.
Hermetic bi-ow lter driers have built-in check
valves which ensure that refrigerant liquid
always ows through the lter driers from the
outer side of the lter core towards the center.
Thus all dirt particles are retained irrespective
of ow direction.
DMB and DCB lter driers ensure fast and
eective adsorption of moisture as well as
organic and inorganic acids.
When building heat pump systems, the use of
bi-ow lters can, depending on the type of
system, save up to ten solder connections. This
reduces production costs and the number of
potential leakage points.
Available with are and solder (cu-plated steel)
connections.
For other connections please contact your
Danfoss Sales Representative.

Hermetic bi-ow lter drier, Type DMB and DCB
Features
The Core type DMB
• 100% 3Å Molecular Sieve core
• High drying capacity minimizing the risk of acid formation (hydrolysis)
• Recommended for use with HFO, HC, HFC and HCFC refrigerants
• Will not deplete oil additives
The Core type DCB
• 80% 3Å Molecular Sieve with 20% activated alumina
• Perfect core blend for systems that operate at high condensing temperatures and require high drying capacity
• Recommended for use with HFO, HC, HFC and HCFC refrigerants
The Shell
• PED approved for PS 46 bar
• Available with are and solder (cu-plated steel) connections
• Optimum ow characteristics and dirt retention
• The check valves are not sensitive to dirt and give minimum restriction, irrespective of ow direction
The Filter
• Eective dirt removal to 25 μm
• No dirt released by reversing the ow direction
• Available in sizes 8 – 30 cubic inches
