Freddox Core Block



Freddox Core Block – Replaceable Filter Drier Core

48 cu.in. solid core solutions for moisture removal, acid control and refrigeration-system protection.

48 cu.in. Core Replaceable Core Molecular Sieve Moisture Protection Anti-Acid Option

Reliable Protection Inside the Refrigeration System

The Freddox Core Block is a replaceable 48 cu.in. solid filter drier core designed for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

Installed inside a compatible replaceable-core filter drier shell, the core helps remove contaminants from the refrigerant circuit and provides protection according to the selected core formulation.

Freddox provides two main formulations: GCFD3020B for high moisture-removal capacity and GCFD3025B for anti-acid / burnout applications.

Freddox Core Block Models

Model / Item Number Core Size Composition Core Type Main Purpose
GCFD3020B 48 cu.in. 100% Molecular Sieve High Capacity High moisture removal / drying capacity
GCFD3025B 48 cu.in. 80% Molecular Sieve
20% Activated Alumina
Anti-Acid / Burnout Moisture removal + enhanced acid adsorption
Both Freddox core models are supplied with a gasket according to the Freddox technical literature.

Which Freddox Core Should I Choose?

💧 GCFD3020B

100% Molecular Sieve

Designed when high moisture-removal capacity is the main requirement.

Best suited for:

  • Normal refrigeration system protection
  • High drying-capacity requirements
  • Moisture removal
  • Routine core replacement

⚠ GCFD3025B

80% Molecular Sieve + 20% Activated Alumina

Designed as an anti-acid burnout core drier where additional acid adsorption is required.

Best suited for:

  • System clean-up
  • Acid contamination control
  • After compressor burnout
  • Moisture + acid removal
NORMAL / HIGH MOISTURE LOAD → GCFD3020B    |    BURNOUT / ACID CLEAN-UP → GCFD3025B


How Does a Core Block Protect the System?

💧 1. Moisture Adsorption The molecular-sieve material adsorbs moisture carried within the refrigerant circuit.
⚠ 2. Acid Control The anti-acid GCFD3025B formulation includes activated alumina for enhanced acid adsorption.
🛡 3. System Protection Contamination control helps protect compressors, expansion valves and other refrigeration components.

High Moisture Adsorption Capacity

Freddox publishes water-capacity data for both core formulations across several common refrigeration refrigerants.

Model Water Capacity at +24°C (g H₂O)
R134a R22 R404A R407C R410A
GCFD3020B 82 75 84 67 73
GCFD3025B 70 64 71 57 64
The higher water-capacity figures of the 100% molecular-sieve GCFD3020B illustrate why it is classified as the Freddox High Capacity core.

Core Dimensions

Core Volume 48 cu.in.
Overall Height Approx. 140 mm
Outside Diameter Approx. 96 mm
Centre Opening Approx. 47 mm
Compatibility Reminder: Always verify the filter-drier shell design and core dimensions before replacing an existing core. A similar 48 cu.in. designation does not by itself guarantee compatibility with every manufacturer's shell.

Typical Applications

❄ Cold Rooms
🧊 Freezers
🏪 Supermarkets
🍎 Cold Storage
⚙ Condensing Units
🏭 Refrigeration Racks
🏢 Air Conditioning
🔧 System Servicing

Why Use a Replaceable Core?

Unlike a sealed disposable filter drier, a replaceable-core shell allows the internal core to be removed and replaced during refrigeration system servicing.

♻ Replace the Core The filter-drier shell can remain installed while the internal core is replaced where the shell design permits.
🎯 Select the Core Function Choose high-capacity moisture removal or anti-acid burnout protection according to the condition of the refrigeration system.
🔧 Service Friendly Particularly useful in larger commercial refrigeration systems where system clean-up may require core replacement.

Simple Freddox Core Selection Guide

Choose GCFD3020B When:

✓ High moisture capacity is required
✓ System condition is generally normal
✓ Drying performance is the priority
✓ 100% molecular sieve is preferred

Choose GCFD3025B When:

✓ Acid contamination is a concern
✓ Cleaning up after compressor burnout
✓ Moisture and acid adsorption are required
✓ Activated alumina formulation is preferred
