AirSept Adds New Compressor Guard Filter Plates

March 29, 2011

The debris that compressors create when they fail stays in the suction line and is a major reason compressors come back even when you install a quality brand. Even flushing cannot guarantee 100% removal of these metallic Trojan horses.

New Compressor Guard Suction Filter Plates prevent leftover debris from entering the new compressor and causing performance problems and comebacks.

New Compressor Guard Suction Filter Plates are available for the GM H-Series compressor family (fits GM cars, trucks 1993-20005), the Denso 10S17F / 10S20F Series (fits GM trucks, SUVs, Vans 2000-’08), the Denso 10S20C / 10S20H Series (fits Chrysler Minivans 2001-’08), and the Sanden SD Series (fits Dodge truck 1994-2005).

Compressor Guard Filter Plates are also available for Honda CRV, Ford Scroll, Ford, Chrysler, Acura, Toyota, VW, BMW and other high-volume compressors. An up-to-date Compressor Guard Application Guide is available free from AirSept.

Compressor Guard Suction Filter Plates are application-specific for simplified installation. One plate fits one specific compressor line, so the technician can easily select the correct plate.

When a compressor fails, debris particles flow in both directions. Although most debris travels down the high side, some flows upstream towards the suction muffler, the hose, the accumulator or receiver/drier, and the evaporator.

OE-approved Compressor Guard suction filter plates sit at the suction port and trap any large debris heading toward the replacement compressor. Suction filter plates install in under five minutes with no line cutting.

The tapered filter forces debris away from its top, and down around the sides. The center of the suction line stays open to maintain refrigerant and lubricant flow.
