(10-12 in.)
Brings reliability and durability demanded in
industrial refrigeration applications
FIA 250-300 (10-12 in.) strainers are a range of
angleway strainers, which are carefully
designed to give favourable ow conditions.
The design makes the strainer easy to install,
and ensures quick strainer inspection and
cleaning.
FIA strainers are used ahead of automatic
controls, pumps, compressors etc., for initial
plant start-up and where permanent ltration
of the refrigerant is required. The strainer
reduces the risk of undesirable system
breakdowns and reduces wear and tear on
plant components.
FIA 250-300 (10-12 in.) strainers are equipped
with a screen mesh of stainless steel, available
in sizes 150 and 250 (microns
72 mesh ()).

Strainer housing, Type FIA 250-300
Features
• Applicable to HC, HCFC, HFC, R717 (Ammonia) and R744 (CO2)
• Available with DIN and ANSI connections
• Filter net of stainless steel mounted direct. without extra gaskets means easy servicing.
• FIA 250-300 (10-12 in.) can be equipped with a magnetic insert for detention of iron particles and other magnetic
particles.
• Each strainer clearly marked with type, size and performance range. • Housing and bonnet of low temperature
steel in accordance with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive and those of other international
classication authorities.
FIA strainers are currently authorized by Danfoss for use with more than 70 R-numbers HCFC, non-ammable HFC,
Ammonia, CO2 and hydrocarbons.
New refrigerants
Danfoss products are continually evaluated for use with new refrigerants depending on market requirements.
When a refrigerant is approved for use by Danfoss, it is added to the relevant portfolio, and the R number of the
refrigerant (e.g. R513A) will be added to the technical data of the code number. Therefore, products for specic
refrigerants are best checked at store.danfoss.com/en/, or by contacting your local Danfoss representative.

Selection of strainer size
The mesh aperture size of the strainer must satisfy the requirements stated by the suppliers of the equipment to be
protected. The following recommendations of aperture size apply in general to refrigeration installations:

Installation
The strainer is designed to resist high internal pressures. However, the piping system in general should be designed
to avoid liquid traps and reduce the risk of hydraulic pressure caused by thermal expansion.
Install the strainer with the cover in downward position.
Danfoss recommends replacement/cleaning of the strainer when the dierential pressure loss >0.5 bar (7.3 psi) in
the liquid line and >0.05 bar (0.7 psi) in the suction line. The max. permissible dierential pressure is 1 bar (15 psi).
For further information refer to installation guide for FIA.
FIA strainers are approved in accordance with the European standard specied in the Pressure Equipment Directive and are CE
marked.
For further details / restrictions - see Installation guide.
