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.

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.
