Emerson Alco 060247 Filter Drier

The Emerson Alco 060247, commercially designated as the SFD-13S4-VV suction line filter drier, is a high-capacity 13 cubic inch desiccant solution engineered for field service and system maintenance. Designed for CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, this unit provides critical 40-micron filtration to protect the compressor from metallic fines and solid contaminants following a burnout or major repair. The 1/2" ODF sweat connections feature solid copper fittings to ensure easy brazing and a leak-proof seal under a 500 PSI maximum pressure rating. This HVAC suction filter incorporates a dual access valve configuration, allowing technicians to verify pressure drops across the core without additional line taps. Its rugged steel shell, finished with a corrosion-resistant epoxy powder paint, ensures long-term durability in high-vibration residential and commercial environments. When performing a suction line drier installation, the SFD13S4VV offers the high-flow capability necessary to minimize pressure drop while maintaining system efficiency.

• Enhanced Compressor Protection: High-density 40-micron filtration traps acid and solid contaminants, preventing premature failure after system burnouts.
• Durable Construction: Features a 500 PSIG maximum working pressure and epoxy-coated steel body for reliable performance in harsh environments.
• Streamlined Installation: Solid copper 1/2" ODF (sweat) connections facilitate faster brazing and a secure, hermetic fit.
• Dual Access Valves: Built-in Schrader ports allow for precise monitoring of pressure across the drier to evaluate core saturation.
• Universal Compatibility: Optimized for modern refrigerants including R-410A, R-22, and R-134a.

Is this filter drier compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, the Emerson SFD Series is rated for 500 PSI, making it fully compatible with R-410A, as well as standard CFC, HCFC, and HFC blends.

When should the SFD-13S4-VV be used over a liquid line drier?
This suction line filter is specifically utilized for "cleanup" after a compressor motor burnout or whenever major system work introduces contaminants into the suction side of the refrigeration circuit.

What is the purpose of the VV designation?
The "VV" indicates the inclusion of dual access valves, which are essential for checking the pressure drop to determine when the filter has reached its capacity and requires removal or replacement.
