Sporlan 800037 Suction Filter

The Sporlan 800037, also identified as the SF-285-T suction filter, is a heavy-duty sealed suction line filter designed for critical compressor protection in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Engineered with a large 28 cubic inch filtration area, this 5/8" ODF sweat connection component effectively traps solid contaminants and debris down to 25 microns before they reach the compressor crankcase. The integrated bypass relief feature is a vital safeguard; it ensures continuous refrigerant flow and motor cooling even if the filter element becomes restricted, preventing high pressure drop and potential motor burnout. This model features a built-in Schrader access valve (T-suffix) for accurate suction line pressure drop monitoring during routine maintenance. Whether you are performing a system cleanup after a burnout or installing a new rack, the Sporlan SF-285-T provides the low pressure drop and high flow capacity required for long-term reliability with HFC, HCFC, and HFO refrigerants.

• Internal Bypass Relief: Automatically opens if the element plugs, maintaining critical gas flow to preserve hermetic motor cooling.
• Access Valve Integration: Simplifies troubleshooting by allowing technicians to measure pressure drop directly at the filter.
• Full Flow Solder Connections: 5/8" ODF copper fittings ensure compatibility with standard brazing alloys and minimize leak paths.
• Superior Filtration: Removes system debris down to 25 microns, significantly extending the service life of HVAC compressor components.
• Corrosion Resistant Shell: Finished with a durable epoxy powder coating to withstand harsh mechanical room environments.

Is the Sporlan 800037 bi-directional?
While the physical flow can go either way, the bypass relief feature and access valve are directional. For the bypass to be active, the filter must be installed in the primary flow direction as indicated by the housing.

When should the SF-285-T be replaced?
Technicians should monitor the pressure drop across the filter using the access valve. If the drop exceed 2 psi on air conditioning or 1 psi on refrigeration applications, a replacement is necessary to prevent the bypass from remaining open.

What refrigerants are compatible with this suction filter?
The unit is compatible with all common refrigerants including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, and R-410A, and is suitable for use with mineral, alkylbenzene, and POE oils.
