Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 043335 Filter Drier
The Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 043335, also identified as the BFK164 filter drier, is a high-capacity bi-directional liquid line filter drier specifically engineered for heat pump applications. This 16-cubic-inch unit is the professional direct replacement for HPC-164-HH, offering superior protection against moisture, acid, and solid contaminants. Featuring a 1/2" Flare (SAE) connection and a robust 680 PSI maximum working pressure, it is fully compatible with R410A refrigerant and other modern HFCs, HCFCs, and CFCs. Its internal check valve system eliminates the need for external bypass piping, streamlining the installation process during high-stakes system repairs. The desiccant blend, consisting of 75% molecular sieve and 25% activated alumina, ensures optimal refrigerant moisture removal and acid neutralization, which are critical for preventing compressor failure and maintaining a long-term HVAC system filtration standard. At a 40-micron rating, it provides necessary debris capture for high-performance residential and commercial systems up to 7.7-ton capacity.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Bi-directional flow capability with integrated check valves simplifies heat pump installs by removing the need for external check valves.
- Direct replacement for HPC-164-HH ensures structural compatibility and ease of retrofitting in existing liquid lines.
- High-pressure rating of 680 PSI allows for safe operation in modern high-pressure R410A sistemas.
- Solid core construction with a 25% activated alumina blend provides exceptional acid capacity for burnout cleanup.
- Corrosion-resistant epoxy powder paint finish protects against harsh environmental exposure on outdoor units.
Is the Alco BFK164 compatible with POE oils?
Yes, the internal desiccant and shell materials are approved for use with POE oils commonly found in HFC and R410A systems, as well as traditional mineral and alkylbenzene oils.
Can this filter drier be used for burnout cleanup?
While primary for liquid line moisture control, its high acid removal capacity makes it effective for secondary cleanup; however, always verify system pressure drops during the cleanup process.
Does this model require specific orientation?
The BFK164 is bi-directional, meaning it handles flow in either direction. Orientation should be determined by accessible flare connection placement to ensure a leak-free seal.
