Ingersoll Rand 47704436001 / 24242398 Coalescing Filter Element

Where It Excels in Industrial Use

• Compressed-Air Filtration: Designed for high-efficiency filtration in compatible Ingersoll Rand compressed-air treatment systems, helping remove fine particulate matter, oil aerosol, and moisture from the air stream.
• FA1000IH Filter Applications: The 24242398 element is specified for the Ingersoll Rand FA1000IH inline filter housing, with a rated flow capacity of approximately 590 CFM.
• Clean Instrument and Process Air: Particularly suitable for applications where downstream pneumatic equipment and air-operated instruments require cleaner compressed air.
• Downstream Equipment Protection: Helps reduce oil aerosol and fine contaminant carryover, supporting cleaner air delivery to sensitive pneumatic components and process equipment.

Key Strengths at a Glance

• High-Efficiency Coalescing Filtration: Designed to remove fine contaminants and oil aerosol from compressed air.
• 0.01 Micron Filtration: The 24242398 is specified for filtration down to 0.01 micron, with oil aerosol removal performance down to 0.01 mg/m³.
• FA1000IH Compatibility: Designed specifically for the FA1000IH filter housing rather than serving as a universal compressor intake or oil filter.
• Integrated O-Ring: The replacement element includes a housing O-ring, helping support a secure seal during filter servicing. 

Technical FAQs

1. What is the primary function of Ingersoll Rand 47704436001 / 24242398?

It is a high-efficiency coalescing filter element used in compatible Ingersoll Rand compressed-air treatment equipment. Its primary function is to remove fine particulate contamination and oil aerosol from the compressed-air stream.

2. Which filter housing is designed for the 24242398 element?

The 24242398 element is specified for the FA1000IH inline filter housing. The complete FA1000IH housing is identified separately as part number 24234106.

3. What is the rated flow capacity of the FA1000IH application?

The FA1000IH configuration using the 24242398 element is rated at approximately 590 CFM.

4. What contaminants can the 24242398 remove?

The element is designed to remove fine particulate matter, oil aerosols, and moisture-related contamination from the compressed-air stream. Coalescing filtration is particularly useful for controlling liquid and aerosol contamination.

5. What is the filtration rating of 24242398?

Available product information specifies filtration down to 0.01 micron and oil aerosol removal down to approximately 0.01 mg/m³ for the FA1000IH configuration.

6. Should a general-purpose filter be installed before the 24242398?

Yes. The available FA1000IH application information recommends that this high-efficiency coalescing filter be preceded by a general-purpose element. This upstream stage helps reduce the contaminant load placed on the fine coalescing element.

7. Is 24242398 an air compressor intake filter?

No. It is a compressed-air treatment filter element installed in an inline filter housing. It should not be confused with the primary air filter used to protect a compressor's air intake.

8. What can happen when a coalescing filter becomes heavily loaded?

As contamination accumulates, pressure differential across the element can increase. Excessive pressure drop can reduce downstream system efficiency and indicates that filter servicing should be considered.

9. Does 24242398 include the housing?

No. The 24242398 is the replacement filter element. The FA1000IH filter housing is a separate component, identified as 24234106.

10. What should be verified before ordering 47704436001 / 24242398?

Confirm the filter housing model, compressor or air-treatment system configuration, existing element number, rated airflow, and applicable service documentation. In particular, verify that the installed housing is the FA1000IH configuration.
