Emerson Alco 063113 Filter Drier

The Emerson Alco 063113 (Model ASF64S17-VV) is a high-capacity suction line filter drier engineered to provide maximum compressor protection in light-to-medium commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Designed with a 64 cubic inch volume and a 40-micron filtration rating, this unit excels at capturing solid contaminants and debris that often accumulate after a compressor burnout or during initial system commissioning. Featuring 2 1/8" ODF sweat solid copper connections, it ensures a leak-resistant, high-integrity joint for high-flow suction lines. The inclusion of dual access valves (Schrader ports) allows technicians to accurately monitor pressure drops across the drier, a critical diagnostic step for identifying restricted flow before it impacts system performance. Built to withstand demanding environments, its 500 PSI max pressure rating and corrosion-resistant epoxy powder finish make it a reliable choice for R-410A and R-22 applications where maintaining extreme system cleanliness is non-negotiable.

Key Benefits

• Unmatched Compressor Protection: High-efficiency 40-micron filtration traps metal shavings, flux residue, and carbon deposits to prevent catastrophic valve damage.
• Streamlined Diagnostics: Integrated dual access valves facilitate rapid pressure differential testing and refrigerant charging without additional line tapping.
• Optimized Flow Capacity: The 64 cubic inch suction drier shell provides a large internal surface area to minimize pressure drop while maintaining high debris-holding capacity.
• Rugged Construction: Durable epoxy-coated shell and solid copper ODF fittings ensure long-term reliability in high-vibration commercial HVACR environments.

Common Questions

Is the ASF64S17-VV suitable for both R-22 and R-410A systems?
Yes, this Emerson suction filter is rated for a maximum working pressure of 500 PSI, making it fully compatible with high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A as well as legacy HCFC systems.

What is the primary function of the dual access valves on this model?
The dual access valves allow for simultaneous pressure readings at the inlet and outlet, enabling technicians to calculate precise pressure drop and determine if the filter element is saturated.

Does this suction line filter provide moisture or acid removal?
The ASF series is primarily designed for solid contaminant filtration. While it provides superior debris protection, it is a felt-bag style filter rather than a desiccant-heavy drier; for high acid/moisture removal, a burn-out specific drier may be required.
