Introduction
The Ingersoll Rand 47545145001 24172215 Air Filter Element is a maintenance-focused combination for compatible New Cobra 90–160 / M90–160 air-cooled rotary screw compressors. The 47545145001 reference identifies an 8,000-hour preventive maintenance program, while 24172215 is identified as an Ingersoll Rand air filter element.
Inlet-air filtration is one of the first protective stages in a compressor system. Ambient air can contain dust, dirt, fibers, and other airborne contaminants, and allowing excessive contamination into the compressor can negatively affect downstream components. A properly maintained air filter therefore contributes to the overall cleanliness and reliability of the compressor's intake system.
The 24172215 reference provides a clear replacement-part identity for maintenance teams. Instead of selecting a filter solely by appearance or approximate dimensions, technicians can use the specified part number together with the compressor model and serial number to establish the intended application.
Air-filter condition also has a direct relationship with compressor airflow. As contaminants accumulate on the filter media, restriction can increase. Excessive restriction can influence the amount of air available to the compressor and may affect loading behavior and overall operating performance.
For this reason, air-filter replacement is an important part of planned preventive maintenance. Incorporating 24172215 into the broader 47545145001 service program gives maintenance personnel an opportunity to inspect the entire inlet path, including the filter housing, sealing surfaces, clamps, ducting, and intake-control components.
The filter should not be viewed in isolation. Inlet filtration works together with the intake valve and compressor control system. If airflow or capacity problems occur, technicians should therefore investigate both the filter condition and the associated intake-control components rather than assuming that the filter is the sole cause.
Available current parts listings confirm 24172215 as an Ingersoll Rand air filter element. Third-party replacement listings also identify the reference as an air-compressor filter, but aftermarket construction and performance specifications should not be treated as official Ingersoll Rand specifications.
The 47545145001 maintenance reference is particularly useful for scheduled service because it places air filtration within a larger compressor-maintenance framework. Other maintenance functions can be addressed during the same service event, helping reduce the risk of overlooking relatively small components that can have a meaningful effect on compressor reliability.
Exact dimensions, filtration efficiency, pressure-drop characteristics, weight, media construction, and service interval for the OEM 24172215 element were not sufficiently verified from authoritative current documentation. These values are therefore intentionally not estimated.
For industrial purchasing teams, the combination of 47545145001 and 24172215 provides straightforward part-number traceability. When the compressor configuration is correctly verified, the specified air filter can support clean inlet airflow and help maintain reliable operation of the New Cobra M90–160 platform.
