Sight Glass

Sight glasses are typically installed in the liquid line after the filter drier and serve a dual purpose. They monitor the moisture content in the refrigerant to ensure it remains within acceptable limits and confirm that liquid refrigerant is consistently present at the expansion valve. An indicator within the sight glass changes color to reflect the moisture level; green indicates acceptable levels, while yellow signals a potential issue.
Availability:
Size Serial number
1/4" XF-1150
3/8" XF-1151
1/2" XF-1152
5/8" XF-1153

Variants: Sight glasses come in various forms, including solder-in versions, flared versions with external threads, and those with internal and external threads for direct screwing onto a filter drier. They can also be found without a housing for screwing in and as saddle versions for larger pipes.

General Function: Sight glasses are typically installed in the liquid line after the filter drier and serve a dual purpose.

They can also be found without a housing for screwing in and as saddle versions for larger pipes .

Function Introduction: Sight glasses are used in the liquid line of refrigeration and air conditioning systems to indicate the flow condition of the refrigerant, the water content in the refrigerant, and the flow condition of the oil in the oil separator. They are applicable for various refrigerants such as R134a, R404a, R407C, R410a, and R507C, and can operate within a temperature range of -40℃ to +80℃ and a maximum working pressure of 4.2MPa.

Moisture Content Indicator: Sight glasses are equipped with sensitive indicators that change color based on the moisture content in the refrigerant. The color change from green to yellow signifies that the moisture level is too high and that the filter drier's capacity has been exceeded, indicating a need for replacement.

Applications: Sight glasses are widely used in traditional refrigeration, heat pump systems, air conditioning units, liquid coolers, transport refrigeration, and more. They offer the best visual indication of moisture with minimal dependence on temperature.

Technical Data: Sight glasses are designed to work within a wide ambient temperature range of -50°C to +80°C and can withstand maximum working pressures up to 46 bar for certain models. They are available in various sizes and are designed for different refrigerants, ensuring optimal protection and performance.
