Technical notes
The 282-8217 Aftercooler Core (Cat designation CORE AS-AFTERCOOLER) is the charge-air cooler element that sits in the aftercooler housing between the turbochargers and the intake manifold on Caterpillar 3500-series engines, including the 3512B. It cools turbocharged intake air, increasing air density for more complete combustion and reduced exhaust temperatures. Distributor listings describe an all-aluminum plate-fin core. It is documented for the 3512/3512B/3512C and the broader 3516/785-784C platform; confirm your engine's serial-number arrangement before ordering, as 3500-family aftercoolers vary by configuration. The core cross-references to Cat 2501143 (250-1143) and 1167012 (116-7012); verify these supersessions against your parts book, since older numbers may have been consolidated into 282-8217.
