Suction line Filter dr
General information:
ALCO BTAS suction line filter drier shell with
replaceable core is for new installation and
integrating into the systems after compressor
burnout, retrofit and maintenance.
• BTAS is only for installation in suction line.
Warning: Do not use BTAS on liquid line
applications.
!
Safety instructions:
• Read
installation
instruction
Failure to comply can result in device failure,
system damage or personal injury.
• It is intended for use by persons having the
appropriate
knowledge
and
attempting to install the shell make sure
pressure in system is brought to and remains at
atmospheric pressure.
• Do not release any refrigerant into atmosphere.
• Do not use any other fluid media without prior
approval of Alco Controls. Use of fluid not
listed could result in:
− Change of hazard category of product and
consequently
change
of
assessment requirement for product in
accordance
with
European
equipment directive 97/23/EC
− Chemical deterioration of desiccants of core
in the shell
• 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 skin injury.
• The filter dryer shell must be used only for the
purpose it is designed for.
Mounting location:
• Allow sufficient clearance from the flanged end to
permit removal of the shell's entire internal
components assembly (see fig. 1).

Leakage test:
• After completion

must be carried o
out as follows:
- According to E
EN378 for systems which must
comply
with
European
pressure
directive 97/23/E
EC
- To maximum wo

applications
Warning:
1) Failure to do so
could result in loss of refrigerant
and person injury.
2) The pressure te
est must be conducted by skilled
persons with due
e respect regarding the danger
related to pressure.
Operation:
• Start the compr
ressor and put the system in
operation. Reco
ord the pressure drop on the
enclosed label an
nd attach to the side of shell (G).
