Product DescriptionThe EMERSON ek052mf is a refrigeration filter designed for use in refrigerant flow control circuits. Manufactured under the Emerson Flow Control line, formerly distributed through the Alco brand, this filter removes contaminants from the refrigerant stream to protect downstream components such as expansion valves, metering devices, and compressors. It corresponds to Emerson part number 57013. HVAC and refrigeration technicians install this filter as part of routine system maintenance or as a replacement when a clogged filter is suspected to be causing flow restriction or component wear.This filter is suited for refrigeration and air conditioning systems where clean refrigerant flow is critical to system efficiency and component longevity. It is a direct replacement for applications requiring Emerson Flow Control part 57013, including commercial refrigeration equipment and HVAC systems that originally specified an Alco-branded filter in the refrigerant circuit. Technicians servicing light commercial or residential refrigeration systems will find this filter a straightforward drop-in replacement for the original part.Key FeaturesRemoves particulate and moisture-related contaminants from the refrigerant circuitProtects expansion valves and metering devices from debris-related damageCorresponds to Emerson Flow Control part number 57013Manufactured under the Emerson Flow Control line, successor to the Alco brandSuitable for use in refrigeration and air conditioning refrigerant circuitsCompatibilityDesigned as a replacement for Emerson Flow Control (Alco) part 57013 in refrigeration and air conditioning systems that require this filter in the refrigerant flow circuit.Installation NotesInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling. Recover all refrigerant from the system before opening the refrigerant circuit to replace the filter. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and de-energized before beginning work. Follow all applicable mechanical and refrigeration codes for leak testing and recharging after installation.Technical SpecificationsManufacturer Part Number (Alt): 57013Standard InformationBrand: EMERSONManufacturer Part Number: ek052mf
