Ingersoll Rand 47545139001 24172215 Air Filter Element

Introduction

The Ingersoll Rand 47545139001 24172215 Air Filter Element combination brings together a scheduled-maintenance reference and a dedicated intake-filtration component for compatible industrial compressor applications. 47545139001 is associated with an 8,000-hour preventive maintenance program for the New Cobra M90–160 water-cooled configuration with modification, while 24172215 is catalogued as an Ingersoll Rand Air Filter Element.

Intake-air filtration is one of the first protective stages in a rotary screw compressor. Before atmospheric air reaches the compression system, it passes through the inlet filtration arrangement, where airborne particles must be captured without creating unnecessary airflow restriction.

The 24172215 element is designed for this fundamental filtration function. By reducing the amount of dust and particulate entering the compressor, the air filter helps protect internal air-system components and supports cleaner operating conditions.

This becomes increasingly important in industrial environments. Manufacturing plants, workshops, metal-processing facilities, construction areas, and other production environments can expose compressor intakes to elevated concentrations of airborne contaminants. An appropriate filtration element provides an important first line of defense against that contamination.

The maintenance reference 47545139001 is useful from a service-planning perspective. An 8,000-hour maintenance event provides an opportunity to inspect the complete intake-air system rather than treating the filter as an isolated consumable. Housing seals, inlet connections, restriction indicators, and surrounding components can be evaluated at the same time.

A clean-looking filter should not automatically be considered serviceable. Actual filter condition depends on the operating environment, accumulated contamination, pressure drop, and the manufacturer's maintenance criteria. Excessive restriction can be just as important to compressor performance as inadequate particle capture.

For maintenance engineers, the most important consideration is correct application. Ingersoll Rand uses numerous air-filter references across its compressor portfolio, and an element that appears physically similar may have different filtration characteristics, sealing arrangements, or flow capacity.

The 24172215 reference is independently identified as an Ingersoll Rand Air Filter Element in a parts catalogue. This provides a clear product identity, but the exact fitment should still be confirmed against the compressor's current parts documentation.

The relationship between the two numbers should also be handled carefully. 47545139001 identifies a maintenance-kit configuration, while 24172215 identifies the filter element. Because currently available public sources do not provide a sufficiently detailed bill of materials confirming that 24172215 is physically included in every 47545139001 package configuration, purchasing teams should verify the current package BOM before treating the two references as a guaranteed kit-and-component inclusion relationship.

This distinction is especially useful for procurement. Maintaining the exact part number, compressor model, serial number, and maintenance-kit reference in purchasing records reduces the possibility of receiving a visually similar but technically unsuitable filter.

Available supplier listings for 24172215 also vary in their dimensional descriptions, so dimensions and weight should not be assumed from aftermarket listings. The most reliable approach is to verify the element against the applicable Ingersoll Rand parts documentation and filter housing configuration.

When correctly matched to the compressor, 24172215 provides a straightforward and essential filtration function, supporting cleaner intake air and helping the broader 8,000-hour maintenance program achieve its reliability objectives.

Technical Specifications

24172215 is identified as an Ingersoll Rand Air Filter Element, but authoritative public documentation located for this request did not provide sufficiently reliable dimensional, weight, filtration-efficiency, or package-BOM data. Those values are therefore intentionally left application-specific rather than estimated.

Recommended Companion Models

These references address complementary filtration, separation, pressure-control, and temperature-control functions associated with the broader M90–160 maintenance strategy. They are related service components and are not substitutes for 24172215.
