Liquid line filter driers, type DCL and DML

Introduction EliminatorTM liquid line filter driers protect

refrigeration and air-conditioning systems from
moisture, acids, and solid particles.
With these contaminants eliminated, systems
are safer from harmful chemical reactions and
from abrasive impurities.

There are two types of EliminatorTM cores.

Type DML driers have a core composition of
100% molecular sieves, while type DCL
contain 80% molecular sieves with 20%
activated alumina.
All EliminatorTM driers have a solid core
with binding material held to an absolute
minimum. Core selection is primarily based
on the refrigerant oil used in the system.

EliminatorTM type DML, with a solid core of EliminatorTM type DCL, with a solid core of
100% molecular sieves, are optimized for use 80% molecular sieves and 20% activated
