• What are the benefits of Sporlan Catch-All filter driers?

  The Sporlan Catch-All series includes sealed model and replaceable core filter driers that offer exceptional contamination control for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Here are some of the proven benefits of Catch-All filter driers:

  • Desiccant blend: The Catch-All series features a carefully developed blend of desiccants that ensures exceptional contaminant removal characteristics to each filter drier core.
  • Special activated charcoal blend: one of the cores used in Catch-All systems, the HH core, incorporates a special blend of activated charcoal that removes resins, wax, and materials created by lubricant breakdown. The HH core is particularly useful for low-temperature systems.
  • Uniform molding: The molded porous drier core pioneered by Sporlan ensures uniform porosity across the entire surface and length of the core. In order to ensure maximum filtration ability, the desiccant granules are carefully controlled and sized to achieve adequate porosity.
  • Highly resistant assembly: thanks to the heavy leafed spring placed at the inlet, the core is tightly held in position, reducing the possibility of breakage and ensuring a shockproof assembly.
  • No bypassing: The Catch-All filter driers have a core that is sealed to the shell wall via a fibrous pad or gasket, which eliminates the possibility of refrigerant bypassing around the core.
  • Carefully tested fittings: The solder and flare fittings used on Catch-All drier filters are thoroughly inspected for scratches, imperfections, and other defects during the manufacturing process.
  • Outlet safety filters: Each Catch-All outlet has a final safety filter that involves either a 100 mesh screen for particle collection or a specialized polyester pad. This provides extra protection in case the molded core gets broken.
  • Entirely leak-proof joint: Thanks to their tig welded shell, Catch-All filter driers offer one of the strongest and smoothest joining methods on the market. Each filter drier is factory tested to ensure an entirely leakproof shell.
