Introduction
The Ingersoll Rand 47545141001 24172215 Air Filter Element is a key filtration component within the 16,000-hour preventive maintenance program for compatible New Cobra M90–160 water-cooled rotary screw compressors. The 47545141001 reference identifies the major maintenance package, while 24172215 is specifically listed as the air filter element supplied within that package.
Intake-air filtration is one of the first lines of protection for a rotary screw compressor. Ambient air can contain dust, fibers, fine particulate matter, and other contaminants that can gradually accumulate within the compressor intake and air-end. A correctly selected filter element helps limit this contamination before it reaches sensitive internal components.
24172215 is an established Ingersoll Rand air filter reference. Current parts sources identify it as an air filter element, while additional parts references specifically associate the number with M90–160 compressor applications.
The connection with 47545141001 is particularly important for maintenance planning. The current maintenance listing identifies 47545141001 as the 16,000-hour preventive maintenance kit for the water-cooled New Cobra M90–160 configuration and specifies one 24172215 air filter element in the package.
Replacing the intake filter at a scheduled service interval helps restore the intended filtration condition of the compressor intake system. It also gives technicians an opportunity to inspect the filter housing, sealing surfaces, intake ducting, and surrounding components for contamination or damage.
Filter condition can influence compressor operating efficiency as well as contamination control. As an element becomes progressively loaded with particulate matter, airflow resistance can increase. The actual service requirement should therefore be based on the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations and, where applicable, measured restriction rather than appearance alone.
For industrial installations operating in dusty or contaminated environments, intake filtration deserves particular attention. Ambient conditions can significantly influence how quickly a filter accumulates debris, making routine inspection valuable even when the compressor has not yet reached a scheduled major-service interval.
It is important to select the filter by the complete compressor application rather than simply by approximate physical dimensions. Ingersoll Rand's parts catalogues contain numerous air-filter references, including 24172215, 39903281, 39708466, 47553060001, and 22130223, each associated with particular equipment configurations.
Some current replacement references also identify updated or cross-referenced part numbers for certain applications. Such references should be treated carefully because an updated number may depend on the compressor generation, filter housing, or specific parts revision. The current machine documentation remains the best basis for confirming a replacement.
The 47545141001 package is water-cooled, but the 24172215 air filter performs the same essential intake-filtration function regardless of the compressor's primary cooling arrangement. The water-cooled designation applies to the overall maintenance package and should not be interpreted as meaning that 24172215 is a water-filtration component.
For maintenance and procurement teams, specifying both 47545141001 and 24172215 provides useful traceability between the major service package and the individual filtration component. This reduces ambiguity when ordering replacement parts for large-frame New Cobra compressors.
Exact OEM dimensions, weight, filtration efficiency, media construction, maximum restriction, and package dimensions for the current 24172215 configuration were not sufficiently verified from authoritative Ingersoll Rand documentation. These values are therefore intentionally not presented as definitive specifications.
When correctly matched to the compressor, 24172215 provides an important barrier against airborne contamination and supports the broader reliability objectives of the 47545141001 16,000-hour maintenance program.
