Sporlan 404362 RCA-4864 Filter Drier Core

The Sporlan 404362 RCA-4864 Filter Drier Core is a high-capacity replacement element engineered for field technicians servicing industrial and commercial refrigeration systems. This activated core features a 48 cubic inch desiccant volume and a 64 square inch filter area, optimized specifically for deep system clean-up and high acid removal. Designed as a direct swap-in for Catch-All Shell models ranging from C-485 through C-19217-G, the RCA-4864 utilizes a porous molded construction to trap solid debris (down to 40 microns) and chemical contaminants that threaten compressor oil integrity. Whether you are performing a post-burnout recovery or standard seasonal maintenance, this refrigerant filter core ensures a low pressure drop while maintaining maximum moisture capacity. The 3.74-inch diameter and 5.5-inch length meet standard industry specifications, providing a tight fit in replaceable core filter drier shells. By effectively neutralizing hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids, this core prevents copper plating and valve sticking, securing the long-term operational efficiency of liquid and suction line applications.

• Superior Acid Neutralization: Features highly activated desiccant for high acid capacity, essential for preventing motor winding failure.
• High-Efficiency Filtration: Molded core traps solid particles with a 64 square inch surface area to protect TEV and compressor components.
• OEM Compatibility: Fits a broad range of Sporlan Catch-All and RSF shells, ensuring a seamless fit for legacy and modern systems.
• System Clean-Up Performance: Specially formulated for mineral oil and alkylbenzene systems requiring aggressive contaminant removal post-burnout.

Which refrigerant types is the RCA-4864 compatible with?
This core is designed for use in refrigeration and air conditioning systems utilizing standard refrigerants like R-22, R-404A, and R-507. For high-moisture POE systems, check the shell manufacturer's guidelines for desiccant brand preference.

What is the difference between the RCA-48 and RC-4864?
The RCA-48 is the simplified nomenclature for the standard RC-4864; both share the same 48 cubic inch volume and 64 square inch filter area specifications for acid removal.

When should the filter core be replaced?
Cores should be replaced whenever a pressure drop across the shell exceeds 2 PSI at full load or after any system breach where the internal components were exposed to atmospheric moisture.
