Emerson Alco 059841 Filter Drier

The Emerson Alco 059841, specifically the ADK164S Liquid Line Filter Drier, is a critical component for maintaining system integrity in high-pressure refrigeration and air conditioning circuits. Featuring a 1/2" ODF sweat connection and a 16 cubic inch desiccant volume, this unit is engineered for maximum moisture and acid removal. The high-density solid core desiccant blend is optimized for HFC, CFC, and HCFC refrigerants, including R-410A and R-134a, ensuring compatibility with POE, PAG, and mineral oils. With a 40-micron filtration rating and a 680 PSI maximum working pressure, it prevents expansion valve clogging and compressor damage from contaminants. The steel shell construction and corrosion-resistant epoxy powder coating provide durability in harsh environments. For contractors, the ADK series is a standard for liquid line protection, offering low pressure drop and high water capacity that exceeds industry benchmarks for HVAC contamination control.

• High-Moisture Capacity: Optimized blend of activated alumina and molecular sieve for superior acid and water retention.
• High Pressure Rated: Engineered to handle 680 PSIG, making it suitable for modern high-pressure refrigerant cycles.
• System Longevity: 40-micron filtration prevents debris from reaching the thermal expansion valve (TXV).
• Broad Compatibility: Approved for use with all major refrigerants and lubricant types used in commercial HVACR.

Common Technical Questions

What is the flow capacity for the Alco ADK164S?
The ADK164S provides high flow capacity with minimal pressure drop, typically rated for systems between 3 to 5 tons depending on the specific refrigerant and liquid temperature.

Is the ADK164S bidirectional?
No, this is a liquid line drier designed for unidirectional flow. Proper installation direction is critical for effective filtration and desiccant performance.

Can this filter drier be used with R-410A?
Yes, the 680 PSI burst pressure and solid core design are specifically rated for the high operating pressures of R-410A systems.
