Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 059843 Filter Drier

The Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 059843 Filter Drier, also identified as the ADK165S liquid line filter drier, is a high-capacity solid core component engineered for demanding refrigeration and air conditioning field applications. Designed for a 5/8" sweat connection, this unit provides 16 cubic inch capacity with a specialized desiccant blend optimized for high moisture and acid removal from HFC, HCFC, and CFC refrigerants. With a 40-micron filtration rating and a 680 PSI maximum working pressure, this OEM Alco filter drier prevents particulate debris from entering the expansion valve or compressor, ensuring system stability and preventing premature component failure in both light commercial and residential systems.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• Optimized Desiccant Mix: High-density beads provide superior water and acid capacity to prevent copper plating and oil breakdown.
• Full Flow Design: Low pressure drop architecture maintains system efficiency and ensures proper refrigerant flow rates.
• Rugged Construction: Durable steel shell with 680 PSI pressure rating meets critical safety standards for high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A.
• Precision Filtration: Integrated 40-micron internal filter captures solid contaminants that cause capillary tube and TXV plugging.
• Broad Compatibility: Serving as a direct cross-reference for 059843, it fits a wide range of Emerson and Copeland condensing units.

Common Technical Questions:

What is the flow capacity of the ADK165S?
This 16 cubic inch drier is sized for liquid line applications typically ranging from 3 to 7.5 tons depending on the specific refrigerant and evaporator temperature.

Can this drier be used with R-410A?
Yes, the ADK165S is rated for 680 PSI, making it fully compatible with high-pressure HFC refrigerants and POE oils.

Is this a bi-directional filter drier?
No, the Copeland 059843 is a standard liquid line drier designed for uni-directional flow. Ensure the arrow on the shell matches the direction of refrigerant flow toward the expansion device.
