Ingersoll Rand 47545137001 24172215 Air Filter Element

Introduction

The Ingersoll Rand 47545137001 24172215 Air Filter Element combines a major preventive-maintenance reference with a critical intake-filtration component for compatible New Cobra M90–160 air-cooled rotary screw compressors. The 47545137001 reference is identified as a 16,000-hour preventive maintenance kit, while 24172215 is the corresponding Ingersoll Rand air filter element reference.

Air filtration is one of the most important protective functions in an industrial rotary screw compressor. Ambient air can contain dust, fibers, moisture, and other airborne contaminants. Without effective filtration, these particles can enter the compressor's air-handling system and eventually reach sensitive internal components.

The 24172215 filter element is designed to provide this initial protection. By removing particulate contamination from intake air, it helps maintain cleaner operating conditions inside the compressor and reduces the potential for contamination-related wear.

The 47545137001 maintenance reference represents a significant service milestone. Current parts listings identify it as the 16,000-hour preventive maintenance kit for the New Cobra 90–160 / M90–160 air-cooled configuration. At this stage of compressor operation, coordinated maintenance of filtration, lubrication, valves, seals, and other wear-sensitive systems becomes particularly important.

Air-filter restriction should also be considered when evaluating compressor performance. As contaminants accumulate in the filter media, airflow resistance can increase. A filter that is excessively restricted may affect compressor breathing and operating efficiency, especially under demanding production conditions.

The actual service interval should not be determined by operating hours alone. Compressor location, ambient dust concentration, ventilation, and operating conditions can have a substantial effect on filter loading. In a clean industrial environment, the filter may remain serviceable longer than in a dusty manufacturing or construction environment; conversely, severe contamination can require earlier attention.

Correct filter installation is equally important. The element must seal properly against its housing so that intake air cannot bypass the filter media. Any damaged gasket, sealing surface, retaining hardware, or housing component should be addressed during maintenance.

For maintenance teams, the combination of 47545137001 and 24172215 provides clear procurement traceability. The package number identifies the scheduled maintenance program, while the component number identifies the specific air-filter element required for the applicable configuration.

It is important not to confuse 24172215 with other Ingersoll Rand filtration references. Air filters, coolant filters, separator elements, and safety filter elements perform different functions and should not be substituted solely because their physical dimensions appear similar.

The 47545137001 package belongs to the same New Cobra M90–160 maintenance family as other preventive-maintenance references, including the 8,000-hour air-cooled package 47545145001. These service levels should be selected according to the compressor's actual maintenance schedule rather than used interchangeably.

Exact OEM dimensions, weight, filtration efficiency, pressure-drop characteristics, filter-media specification, and package contents for 24172215 were not sufficiently verified from current authoritative documentation. These values are therefore intentionally not estimated.

For industrial operators, maintaining the correct air filter at the appropriate service interval is a relatively simple maintenance action with significant protective value. When correctly matched to the compressor, 24172215 helps maintain clean intake air and supports dependable long-term operation of the New Cobra M90–160 platform.

Technical Specifications

The available parts listing identifies 47545137001 as the 16,000-hour air-cooled preventive maintenance kit for the New Cobra 90–160 / M90–160 family. Exact 24172215 dimensional and performance specifications should be confirmed against the applicable parts documentation.
