Emerson Alco 048668 Filter Drier

The Emerson Alco 048668 Filter Drier, also designated as the Model EK-306, is a high-performance liquid line filter drier designed for professional HVACR applications. This 30 cubic inch unit features a 3/4" SAE flare connection and is engineered with a premium compacted bead desiccant blend. The "filtration first" design ensures that the 20-micron outlet pad utilizes the full surface area of the desiccant for maximum moisture and acid removal. With a 680 PSI maximum working pressure, this high-capacity filter drier is a reliable universal replacement for systems utilizing CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, and R-410A.

Constructed with a shock-resistant steel shell and finished in corrosion-resistant epoxy powder paint, the EK-306 provides long-term durability in demanding environments. The solid copper connections ensure superior brazing and leak-proof installation. Optimized for use with POE oils and specifically approved for Copeland compressors, this unit is essential for maintaining system dehydration and preventing the formation of harmful acids that lead to compressor failure.

Key Benefits:
  • Superior Filtration: 20-micron internal filtration protects expansion valves and capillary tubes from debris.
  • Maximum Moisture Removal: Specialized desiccant blend prevents acid formation and system corrosion.
  • High Pressure Rating: Rated for up to 680 PSIG, making it suitable for modern high-pressure R-410A systems.
  • Refrigerant Compatibility: Universal application for R-12, R-134a, R-22, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and more.
  • Durable Construction: Shock-resistant steel shell with epoxy coating for harsh industrial conditions.
Common Questions:

Is the Emerson 048668 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, the EK-306 is rated for 680 PSI, making it ideal for the higher operating pressures of R-410A and as a standard AC filter drier replacement.

Can I use this drier with POE oil?
Absolutely. The EK series is specifically approved for use with POE oils and is a recommended choice for systems with Copeland compressors.

What is the difference between the 048668 and EK-306?
They are identical parts. 048668 is the Product Code Number (PCN) used by Emerson for the EK-306 model with 3/4" flare connections.
