Emerson Alco 047606 Filter Drier

Install the Emerson Alco 047606 (Model EK-082S) to ensure maximum protection for your refrigeration or air conditioning system's metering device. This premium liquid line filter drier features a 8 cubic inch compacted bead core, consisting of a 75% molecular sieve and 25% activated alumina blend. This specific ratio is optimized for high moisture removal and acid capacity, crucial for maintaining oil stability in systems using POE oils and Copeland compressors. With a 20-micron outlet pad, the EK-082S provides high-efficiency filtration to trap solid contaminants before they reach the expansion valve or capillary tube.

Designed for versatile field replacement, this uni-flo filter drier is compatible with a wide range of refrigerants, including R-410A, R-22, R-134a, and R-404A. The 1/4" sweat (ODF) solid copper connections ensure easy brazing and a leak-free seal, while the shock-resistant steel shell and corrosion-resistant epoxy powder paint provide durability in demanding environments. Rated for a 680 PSI max pressure, it is a reliable choice for high-pressure 410A applications where system cleanliness and dehydration are non-negotiable.

• Premium Filtration: Internal 20-micron filter pad prevents orifice plugging and helps maintain consistent subcooling.
• Enhanced Dehydration: High-capacity desiccant blend effectively captures water and organic acids to prevent compressor motor burnout.
• Rugged Construction: Features a shock-resistant steel shell and solid copper connections for superior joint integrity during installation.
• Broad Compatibility: UL listed for use with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants up to 680 PSIG.

What is the proper flow direction for the EK082S?
This is a uni-flow drier. Always follow the flow arrow on the label, pointing from the condenser toward the expansion device. Avoid installing in reverse to prevent desiccant bypass.

Can I use this drier on a R-410A heat pump?
The EK-082S is a uni-flow design. For heat pump liquid lines where flow reverses, you should use an Alco BFK series bi-flow drier instead.

How do I prevent damage to the drier during brazing?
Use a wet rag or heat-sink paste on the shell and purge with nitrogen to prevent internal oxidation and desiccant overheating.
