Emerson Alco 053047 Filter Drier

The Emerson Alco 053047 Filter Drier, specifically the STAS9617SV model, is a heavy-duty suction line filter drier designed for high-capacity commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Built with a sturdy steel shell and finished in corrosion-resistant epoxy powder paint, this replaceable core filter drier is engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of field service. It features a 2 1/8" sweat (ODF) connection and a large 96 cubic inch desiccant volume, utilizing a dual core configuration (cores sold separately) to provide maximum moisture and acid removal. With a 500 PSI maximum pressure rating, the SV-style shell is optimized for suction line service, including stainless steel bolts and an access valve for pressure drop monitoring. The 100 mesh outlet screen ensures 40-micron filtration to protect the compressor from solid contaminants and debris after a burnout or during routine maintenance.

Key Benefits:

• Full Flow Fittings: Designed for low pressure drop, ensuring the system maintains efficiency without compromising compressor performance.
• Take-Apart Design: The slotted cover and unique internal hardware allow for rapid core replacement and easy internal cleaning during field service.
• Broad Refrigerant Compatibility: Suitable for use with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R-22, R-410A, and R-404A.
• Durable Construction: Features solid copper connections for reliable brazing and a steel shell for long-term durability in commercial environments.

Common Questions:

What cores are compatible with the STAS9617SV?
This shell requires two 48 cubic inch cores. Technicians typically use Emerson UK-48 for standard moisture/acid removal, UW-48 for burnout cleanup, or UF-48 for suction line filtration.

Does this unit come with an access valve?
Yes, the SV-style suction line series includes an integral access valve and stainless steel bolts, allowing technicians to check the pressure drop across the filter drier easily.

Can this shell be used in the liquid line?
While the STAS series can serve liquid lines, the STAS9617SV is specifically modified for suction line service. Always verify flow direction and system placement to prevent internal core rupture.
