Designed for highly demanding production environments,
where corrosion is a risk due to harsh environments
FIA SS strainers are a range of angle-way and
straight-way 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 SS 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.
In certain specic areas such as outdoor
applications and corrosive atmospheres, such
as coastal installations, there is a need for high
surface protection to prevent failure due to
corrosion.
Today's food safety standards often call for daily
treatment with detergents to protect against
bacteria growth, again producing a need for
high surface protection.

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.
Made of stainless steel approved for low temperature operations
Strainer Insert
A lter grid and lter net of stainless steel ensure long element life. The lter net oers a very high degree of
cleanability

Installation
Installation/Maintenance
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 SS.
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:
Sensitive equipment, e.g.suction regulators with low temperature
250μ [72 mesh]
Suction Lines
Ahead of screw compressor
250μ [72 mesh]
Ahead of piston compressor
150μ [100 mesh]

Table 9: Recommendations of aperture size
NOTE:
(Use lter element with removable insert for FIA SS DN15 - 40 or separate lter bag for FIA SS DN 50 - 65. 50μ insert
should normally be removed after the rst 24 hours of operation)
NOTE:
Mesh is the number of threads per inch. μ (microns) is the distance between two threads (1μ = 1 /1000 mm).
The table below is used to identify the strainer required. Please note that you have to order FIA SS strainer without
element, a strainer element and accessories.
Example:
