Emerson ALCO CONTROLS ADKS-Plus Operating Instructions Manual

G e n e r a l i n f o r m a t i o n :
EMERSON filter dryer shells with replaceable core/filter are
for new installation or for integration into the system for
clean-up purpose after compressor motor burnout.
S a f e t y i n s t r u c t i o n s :
• Read operating instructions thoroughly. Failure to
comply can result in device failure, system damage or
personal injury.
• This product is intended for use by qualified personnel
having the appropriate knowledge and skills like trained
according to EN 13313 or a specific training for
flammable refrigerants.
• Flammable refrigerants require special handling and
care due to its flammability. Sufficient ventilation is
required during service of the system. Contact with
rapidly expanding gases can cause frostbite and eye
damage. Proper protective equipment (gloves, eye
protection, etc.) has to be used.
• Ensure that the system is correctly labelled with applied
refrigerant type and a warning for explosion risk.
• In a severely contaminated system, avoid breathing acid
vapours and avoid contact with skin from contaminated
refrigerant / lubricants. Failure to do so could result in
injury.
• Before opening any system make sure pressure in
system is brought to and remains at atmospheric
pressure.
• Do not release any refrigerant into the atmosphere!
• Do not exceed the specified maximum ratings for
pressure and temperature.
• Observe and avoid mechanical damage of component
housing.
• Do not use any other fluid media without prior approval
of EMERSON. Use of fluids not listed could result in:
- Change of hazard category
consequently change of conformity assessment
requirement for product in accordance with European
Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
- Chemical deterioration of desiccants of core in the
shell.
• Ensure that design, installation and operation comply
with European and national standards/regulations.
• For flammable refrigerants only use accessories
approved for it!
M o u n t i n g l o c a t i o n :
• Allow sufficient space from the flanged end to permit
removal of the shell's entire internal components
assembly (see Fig. 1)
• Protect the shell against sunrays and vibration.
1) Liquid line
• Locate shell as close as possible to the inlet of expansion
valve. If solenoid valve and sight glass are incorporated,
the arrangement will be in the following sequences in flow
direction of refrigerant and as close as possible: - Filter
dryer shell, solenoid valve, sight glass and expansion
valve.
2) Clean-up after compressor motor burnout
• Shell must be as close as possible to the compressor in
suction line but upstream of any vibration adsorber that
might be presented.
• Filter dryer shell shall be installed vertically with upside
flange/quick cap or as shown in Fig. 2 which it will permit
the return of oil to the compressor.
• For detailed clean-up procedure and recommendation,
consult the system / compressor manufacturers or
contact Emerson Application engineering department.
I n s t a l l a t i o n :
• Do not remove seal caps until ready for installation in
order to minimize entering of moisture and dirt.
• WARNING: Avoid damaging the connections!
• Direction of refrigerant flow must match with arrow on the
label.

Filter Dryer Shells ADKS-Plus / FDH / FDS
• Removal of the internal components of shell is not
required before and during brazing.
B r a z i n g :
• Perform the brazing joint as per EN 14324.
• Before and after brazing clean tubing and brazing joints.
• Minimize vibrations in the piping lines by appropriate
solutions.
• Fittings: ADKS-Plus/ FDS: Coper; FDH: Steel
Do not exceed the max. surface temperature of:120 °C
Do not exceed the max. flame temperature of 675 °C
I n s t a l l a t i o n / R e p l a c e m e n t o f F i l t e r C o r e s :
• Before opening of the Filter Drier Shell pump down
system and shell completely!
• Do not remove cores from bag until just prior to
installation. Early removal could result in contamination of
the desiccant from surrounding atmosphere.
FDS - Opening quick cap (Fig. 3, 5)
- Loose the nut by two turns.
- Rotate the quick cap counter clockwise and lift the
quick cap from shell.
- Withdraw entire internal assembly by pulling on spring.
ADKS/ FDH - opening flange cap (Fig. 5):
- Remove flange bolts and flange cover. Withdraw entire
internal assembly by pulling on handle.
- Unscrew inlet block retainer.
- Remove and dispose used filter drier blocks.
- Clean all internal parts thoroughly.
- Remove blocks from packaging.
- Cores must be mounted by all means with the tapered
inside diameter against the outlet retainer. Assemble all
parts and new gaskets acc. to Fig. 5 and screw handle
on the outlet retainer.
- Carefully insert assembled unit into shell.
FDS - Closing quick cap (Fig. 4, 5)
- After replacement of Filter Cores always check cover and
of product and
shell O-rings for damage. O-ring set has to be ordered
separately.
- Place the quick ca lp on the shell, push it against shell and
rotate the quick cap clockwise until the red marks are next
to each other's. Fasten nut with 27 Nm for FDS-24
ADKS/ FDH - Closing flange cap (Fig. 5)
- Make sure that the flat gasket has been properly
incorporated in the round groove of flange cap.
- After replacement of Filter Cores always use new cover
gasket. Lightly coat the new gasket with refrigeration oil
on both surfaces.
- Screw the first bolt (for FDH with washer) in a few turns
to assist with the mounting of the cap.
- Place the cap onto the shell ensuring the cut-out is
aligned under the first screw (and washer for FDH).
Hand-tighten first bold. Insert the remaining bolts and
hand-tighten. Torque the bolts to 35 Nm using a
crisscross pattern to apply pressure evenly.
P r e s s u r e T e s t :
After completion of installation, a pressure test must be
carried out as follows:
- according to EN 378 for systems which must comply
with European
2014/68/EU.
- to maximum working pressure of system for other
applications.
T i g h t n e s s T e s t :
Conduct a tightness test according to EN 378-2 with
appropriate equipment and method to identify leakages
from joints and products. The allowable leakage rate must
be according system manufacturer's specification.
WARNING:
• Failure to pressure test or tightness test as described
could result in loss of refrigerant, damage to property
and/or personal injury.
• The tests must be conducted by skilled personnel
with due respect regarding the danger related to

pressure.
O p e r a t i o n :
• After Pressure and tightness test, start system and after
sufficient running time, check colour of moisture indicator.
The colour calibration of indicator provides a precise
indication of the system's moisture condition.
• In systems with excessive moisture, it may be necessary
to replace core(s) for several times in order to bring
moisture in the system to a safe level.
• WARNING: During operation of system, the shell
may have a high surface temperature.
S e r v i c e / M a i n t e n a n c e :
• The external surface of shells are coated by epoxy
powder painting for optimum protection against corrosion.
The external surface of shell shall be checked as per
EN 378 during routine/periodic inspection/service.
• Before any debrazing ensure that the flammable
refrigerant is pumped out of the system and the room
around the system is well vented so no refrigerant left.
• When disposing or removing the component or part from
refrigeration system, ensure that no refrigerant remains
ed trapped inside of the part.
• According to EN 378-4 during
maintenance, tightness tests shall be carried out at the
relevant part of the refrigerating system. This shall apply
where appropriate following any repair.
• WARNING: Do not attempt to dry out a used filter-
drier core.
