Product Description

Parker RCP100‑20EPP ParMax large‑diameter pleated filter cartridge is a genuine industrial high‑flow filter element from Parker Hannifin ParMax product family, with 20‑inch nominal length, 10‑micron absolute polypropylene media and EPR sealing material, adopting unique inside‑to‑outside flow design which differs from conventional outside‑in high‑flow cartridgesParkerGB. Its 6‑inch large outer diameter greatly expands effective filtration surface area, one single cartridge can replace multiple standard 2.5‑inch small‑size filter cartridges, minimizing total element count inside filter housing and lowering capital investment for filtration units.

Constructed with layered thermal‑bond polypropylene pleated media without adhesive, this filter achieves 99.98% absolute retention efficiency at rated micron rating, effectively preventing fiber shedding and particle re‑release under variable flow impactParkerGB. Built‑in integrated lifting handle enables quick, safe single‑person installation and removal without special tools. 435 style O‑ring end‑cap configuration ensures precise sealing inside original Parker ParMax filter housings, eliminating fluid bypass risk and guaranteeing all liquid fully passes through filter media to protect downstream RO membrane modules and precision production equipmentParkerGB.

Well‑suited for new‑build facilities and existing system upgrade projects, Parker RCP100‑20EPP performs reliably for raw water pre‑treatment, cooling water circulation, beverage process fluid, chemical solution filtration and desalination pretreatment scenarios, supporting stable effluent quality for 24‑hour continuous industrial manufacturing.

Working Principle

Parker RCP100‑20EPP high flow filter cartridge applies inside‑to‑outside filtration mechanism, which is its core distinction against most ordinary high‑flow elementsParkerGB. Untreated process liquid flows into the inner core of cartridge firstly, then flows outward through multi‑layer pleated polypropylene media. Suspended solids, colloids, sediment and fine granular contaminants are trapped inside the pleated layers. Purified liquid flows out from outer surface of filter cartridge and discharges into filter housing outlet pipeline.

Thanks to large‑area layered pleated construction, pollutants are captured deep within filter media instead of only accumulating on inner surface, slowing differential pressure rising rate and extending service cycle. As intercepted impurities keep accumulating, pressure difference between filter inlet and outlet increases gradually. Once differential pressure hits recommended warning value, operators need to replace filter cartridge promptly. Precise O‑ring sealing structure prevents unfiltered liquid bypass, securing full‑flow filtration efficiency for whole water‑treatment system.

FAQ

Q1: What is the special flow direction of Parker RCP100‑20EPP filter cartridge?

A1: Parker RCP100‑20EPP adopts inside‑to‑outside flow path, liquid enters inner core and flows outward through filter media, contaminants are trapped inside pleated layers, which improves dirt‑holding capability for high‑turbidity feed waterParkerGB.

Q2: What is the filtration accuracy of Parker RCP100‑20EPP?

A2: It delivers 10 micron absolute‑grade filtration efficiency with 99.98% particle retention performance under standard test conditionsParkerGB.

Q3: Do I need special filter housing for installing Parker RCP100‑20EPP?

A3: No special housing modification is required. It is designed for original Parker ParMax series high‑flow filter housings with 435 O‑ring interface for direct installationParkerGB.

Q4: When should I replace Parker RCP100‑20EPP filter cartridge during running?

A4: Monitor inlet‑outlet differential pressure of filter housing. When differential pressure rises to 0.3‑0.35 MPa, filter media is blocked, please complete cartridge replacement in time.

Q5: Are compatible alternative cartridges available for Parker RCP100‑20EPP?

A5: Yes, drop‑in interchangeable replacement elements exist on market. They keep identical dimension, sealing size and inside‑out flow structure, helping customers decrease spare‑part procurement cost while maintaining comparable filtration performance.
