Emerson Alco 048216 Filter Drier
The Emerson Alco 048216, also identified as the EK-306S liquid line filter drier, is a premium compacted bead drier designed for maximum moisture and acid removal in high-pressure refrigeration systems. Featuring a 30 cubic inch desiccant volume and 3/4" ODF sweat connections, this unit is engineered to protect critical components like TXVs and compressors from contaminants. The EK-306S filter drier utilizes a 20-micron filtration pad to ensure high filtration capacity while maintaining low pressure drop across the 680 PSI maximum working pressure range. This HVAC liquid line drier is compatible with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R-410A, and features a buffered desiccant blend that prevents the depletion of organic acid inhibitors. For technicians performing retrofits or new installations, the Emerson EK306S provides the reliability required to prevent copper plating and system freeze-ups, ensuring long-term stable performance in demanding commercial and residential HVACR applications.
- Maximum Moisture Capacity: High-density desiccant blend ensures superior water and acid removal to prevent system acidification.
- High Pressure Rating: Rated for 680 PSI, making it suitable for modern high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A.
- Efficient Filtration: 20-micron filtration prevents particulate matter from clogging expansion valves or orifice tubes.
- Durable Construction: Shock-resistant steel shell and corrosion-resistant epoxy powder finish for use in harsh environments.
- ODF Connections: Precision 3/4" sweat ends facilitate clean soldering and leak-proof installations.
Common Questions
What is the difference between the Alco 048216 and the EK-306S?
The 048216 is the specific Emerson Alco part number for the EK-306S model; they are functionally and physically identical units.
Is the EK-306S compatible with POE oil?
Yes, the desiccant blend used in this drier is specifically formulated to work effectively with both mineral oils and POE oils without stripping additives.
Can this drier be used in bidirectional heat pump lines?
The EK-306S is a unidirectional liquid line drier. For heat pump applications, verify flow direction or utilize a dedicated biflow model to ensure proper filtration in both cycles.
