Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 061235 Drier Core

The Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 061235, also known as the W-48-HH drier core, is a specialized 48 cubic inch burnout filter drier core engineered for intensive system cleanup following a compressor motor failure. This high-acid filter drier core utilizes a proprietary desiccant blend specifically formulated to sequester high concentrations of acid, moisture, and solid contaminants, preventing secondary failures in HVACR refrigeration systems. Designed for universal compatibility, it services systems running CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including common fluids like R-410A, R-404A, and R-134a. The W48HH core features a high-capacity activated charcoal medium that effectively removes wax and sludge, ensuring the expansion device remains clear of debris. These cores are standard replacements for suction line filter driers and are compatible with most major brand take-apart shells. For technicians performing system decontamination, this block-style core provides the necessary filtration area to maintain low pressure drops while maximizing debris retention.

Key Technical Benefits

• Superior Acid Neutralization: Formulated with a high-performance desiccant blend to remove corrosive acids typically generated during a compressor burnout.
• Universal Refrigerant Compatibility: Fully compatible with mineral, alkylbenzene, and POE lubricants used in CFC, HCFC, and HFC applications.
• Sludge and Wax Removal: Integrated activated charcoal targets heavy hydrocarbons and varnish to restore system thermal efficiency.
• Direct Cross-Reference: The 061235 is an exact replacement for the W-48HH, fitting standard 4-3/4 inch shells.
• Maximized Filtration Surface: Precision-molded block design ensures consistent flow and prevents desiccant migration into the refrigerant circuit.

Common Maintenance Questions

Can the W48HH be used in the liquid line?
While physically compatible with many shells, the HH series is optimized for suction line burnout cleanup to protect the new compressor from existing contaminants. For standard moisture removal, the H-series cores are typically preferred.

Is the 061235 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, this 48 cubic inch core is rated for high-pressure R-410A applications and is compatible with the POE oil found in those systems.

When should the burnout core be replaced?
Monitor the pressure drop across the filter drier shell. Once the system cleanup is verified through oil chemistry analysis and pressure drop stabilizes, these cores should be replaced with standard moisture-removing cores.
