Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 047611 Filter Drier
Ensure critical system protection with the Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 047611 EK162 Filter Drier. Designed specifically for liquid line applications in residential and commercial AC and refrigeration, this 16 cubic inch filter drier utilizes a premium compacted bead desiccant to provide maximum surface area for moisture and acid removal. The EK162 is engineered for high-pressure performance with a 680 PSI maximum working pressure and features a 20-micron outlet pad to trap solid contaminants before they reach the expansion valve or compressor. The 1/4" SAE flare connections allow for a secure, leak-resistant fit, making this an ideal refrigerant liquid line drier for field service and maintenance. Compatible with a wide range of refrigerants, including R-410A, R-22, R-134a, and R-404A, it is also approved for use with POE oils in Copeland compressors, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of veteran technicians in the field.
Key Benefits of the EK162 Filter Drier:
- Universal Refrigerant Compatibility: Fully compatible with modern HFCs, HCFCs, and CFCs, including R-410A, R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, and R-507.
- Advanced Filtration: The 20-micron secondary filtration pad ensures the isolation of debris, protecting metering devices from clogging and failure.
- High Acid & Moisture Capacity: The desiccant blend is optimized to prevent oil breakdown and acid formation, significantly extending compressor life.
- Rugged Construction: Features a shock-resistant steel shell and corrosion-resistant epoxy powder-coated finish for durability in harsh environments.
- Copper-to-Copper Flow: Robust solid copper connections provide superior brazing/fitting security compared to standard plated steel.
Common Technical Questions:
Can I use the EK162 on a heat pump system?
The EK162 is a unidirectional liquid line filter drier. For heat pump applications, verify the flow direction; if the refrigerant flow reverses at the drier location, you must use a bi-directional BFK series drier instead.
What indicates it is time to replace this filter drier?
Technicians should check for a temperature drop across the drier. A temperature difference greater than 3°F (2°C) typically indicates a restricted core or a saturated desiccant that requires immediate replacement.
Is this drier compatible with POE oil?
Yes, it is explicitly approved for use with Polyolester (POE) oils, which are highly hygroscopic and require the superior moisture-holding capacity provided by the 047611 / EK162 bead desiccant.
