Emerson Alco 060262 Filter Drier

The Emerson Alco SFD-13S7-VV (060262) is a high-performance suction line filter drier engineered for critical system protection in commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Featuring a 7/8" ODF sweat connection and a 13 cubic inch desiccant volume, this unit provides maximum moisture and acid removal to protect the compressor from premature failure. The solid core design is optimized for high flow capacity with minimal pressure drop, which is essential for maintaining efficient oil return in low-temperature applications. Rated for a 500 PSI maximum working pressure, the SFD13S7VV utilizes a specialized 40-micron filtration media to trap solid contaminants and metal shavings often found after a burnout or during initial system commissioning. This hermetic filter drier is compatible with HFC, HCFC, and CFC refrigerants, offering the versatility required for various field service repairs and compressor replacements.

Key Benefits

• Dual Access Valves: Integrated Schrader valves allow for precise pressure drop monitoring across the core to determine when the drier is saturated.
• Optimized Desiccant Mix: High-capacity core specifically formulated for acid neutralization and moisture adsorption in the suction line.
• Corrosion Resistant: Durable epoxy powder coat finish prevents external oxidation in high-humidity mechanical rooms.
• System Reliability: Captures fine particulates down to 40 microns to prevent orifice plugging in expansion valves.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed for use with mineral, alkylbenzene, and POE oils.

Common Questions

What is the maximum pressure drop for the SFD13S7VV?
Technicians should monitor the differential pressure; typically, if the drop exceeds 3 PSI in air conditioning or 1.5 PSI in commercial refrigeration, the core is restricted and requires replacement.

Can this filter drier be installed in either direction?
No, this is a directional suction line drier. Ensure the flow arrow on the shell aligns with the refrigerant flow toward the compressor to maintain filtration efficiency.

Is the 060262 suitable for burnout cleanup?
Yes, the 13 cubic inch core and 40-micron filter are specifically designed to handle the debris and acid levels resulting from a compressor motor burnout.
