Emerson Alco 060134 Filter Drier
The Emerson Alco 060134 (Model ADK-084S) is a high-capacity liquid line filter drier engineered for critical moisture and acid removal in light commercial and residential HVACR systems. Featuring an 8 cubic inch desiccant volume with a specialized 40-micron filtration rating, this unit utilizes a solid core blend of activated alumina and molecular sieve to maintain system chemistry and prevent capillary tube or TXV plugging. Designed for high-pressure performance with a 680 PSI maximum working pressure, it is fully compatible with HCFC, HFC, and modern high-pressure refrigerants including R-410A. The 1/2" ODF sweat connections ensure a leak-free, high-integrity joint during field brazing. Ideal for system cleanups or preventative maintenance, this ADK series filter drier provides reliable protection against refrigeration system contaminants that lead to compressor failure, ensuring long-term performance in demanding thermal cycles.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- High-Moisture Capacity: The optimized blend of molecular sieve desiccant ensures superior water removal and prevents ice formation at the expansion valve.
- Acid Neutralization: Activated alumina effectively captures organic acids and systemic sludge that can degrade compressor motor windings.
- Debris Management: Robust 40-micron filtration ensures that even microscopic particulates are trapped before entering precision metering devices.
- Durable Construction: The epoxy powder-coated steel shell provides excellent corrosion resistance in outdoor environments and high-humidity applications.
- Pressure Rated: Certified for 680 PSI, making it a versatile choice for a wide variety of HVACR refrigeration cycles.
What is the flow capacity of the ADK-084S?
This 8 cubic inch drier is rated for standard liquid flow capacities across common tonnages, effectively managing pressure drop while maximizing contaminant retention.
Can this filter drier be used on suction lines?
No, the Emerson ADK-084S is specifically designed for liquid line applications. Suction line filtration requires a different internal construction to manage lower pressures and higher velocities.
Is this compatible with POE oil?
Yes, the desiccant core is formulated to work with POE, PAG, and mineral oils without breaking down or stripping essential additives from the lubricant.
