To protect refrigeration and air conditioning systems from moisture, dirt, acids, oil decomposition products and sludge sediments.
FT FILTER DRIERS
GEA filter driers are equipped with filter blocks designed for easy replacement. The blocks are held in position by the filter carrier which also acts as a strainer. The liquid refrigerant enters the filter through the side entry and flows through the filter blocks and the filter carrier strainer. The filter blocks consist of an adsorption mass based on molecular sieve aluminum oxide. GEA filter driers are designed for use in the pipes of refrigeration and air conditioning systems with fluorinated refrigerants and also as a cleaning drier on the suction side. They protect the system from moisture, dirt, acids, oil decomposition products and sludge sediments. The dimensions of the filter blocks comply with international standards.

GEA Insights
A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
