Ingersoll Rand 47588445001 / 24900342 Air Filter & Oil Separator Kit

Where It Excels in Industrial Use

• The Ingersoll Rand 47588445001 / 24900342 Air Filter & Oil Separator Kit is designed for compatible rotary screw air compressors, combining an intake air filter assembly with the 24900342 air/oil separator element to deliver clean intake air and highly efficient oil separation. This combination helps maintain compressor efficiency while reducing oil carryover into downstream pneumatic systems.
• It is ideally suited for manufacturing plants, automotive assembly lines, machining workshops, food and beverage processing facilities, pharmaceutical production, and heavy industrial compressed air installations.
• The kit performs exceptionally well in continuous-duty compressor applications where maintaining clean compressed air, stable operating temperatures, and low pressure loss is essential.
• As part of a preventive maintenance program, replacing both the intake filter and separator element helps improve energy efficiency, extend compressor service life, and reduce unscheduled maintenance. The 24900342 separator is commonly recommended for replacement every 4,000 operating hours or annually, depending on operating conditions.

Technical FAQs

1. What is the purpose of the 47588445001 / 24900342 maintenance kit?

The kit combines intake air filtration with efficient air/oil separation to maintain compressor performance and compressed air quality.

2. What does the 24900342 air/oil separator do?

It separates oil mist from compressed air and returns recovered lubricant to the compressor lubrication circuit.

3. Which compressor series commonly use the 24900342 separator?

The separator is widely used on compatible Ingersoll Rand RS, UP5, and UP6 rotary screw compressor models.

4. What filtration media is used in the separator element?

The separator utilizes high-efficiency microglass/fiberglass coalescing media for excellent oil removal efficiency.

5. Why should the separator be replaced periodically?

Replacing a saturated separator reduces differential pressure, improves energy efficiency, and minimizes oil carryover.

6. What is the function of the intake filter assembly?

It removes airborne dust and contaminants before air enters the compressor, protecting the air end and internal components.

7. Can both components be replaced during scheduled maintenance?

Yes. Replacing both parts together is recommended to maintain balanced compressor performance and reduce maintenance downtime.

8. Does a clogged separator affect compressor efficiency?

Yes. Increased pressure drop across a clogged separator can increase energy consumption and reduce overall compressor efficiency.

9. Is this kit suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications?

Yes. It is designed for continuous industrial operation in demanding compressed air systems.

10. How does this kit improve compressor reliability?

By maintaining clean intake airflow and efficient oil separation, it reduces component wear, improves air quality, and supports long-term operational stability.
