Bunn cds-2 filter dryer assembly 27187.0000 (with tube)
This is a brand new sealed Refrigerant Filter Dryer Assembly with correct copper tubing to solenoid for the Bunn CDS-2 machine.
A refrigerant filter/dryer does exactly what it says - it filters impurities and eliminates moisture from the refrigerant in your system. In an ideal world only refrigerant and oil are in the closed refrigerant loop of your machine. Since ideal is impossible to attain, even with lots of effort to thoroughly evacuate and dry a system there is almost always some moisture (water) trapped in your system. Other impurities (non-refrigerant compounds) are likewise introduced into your system and can also form as the oil or refrigerant break down over time and use. At a minimum, any time a closed system is opened for a "major" repair replacement of this component is required.
You can purchase a generic filter/dryer for any refrigerant system, but it is wise to use the device specifically designed for your system, especially so here where the correct diameter and length of copper tubing is included to properly connect the device to your machine. Using a generic device or improperly-sized (diameter and/or length) tubing will change the operational characteristics of your refrigeration system and can lead to lower efficiency or eventual system failure.
