Ingersoll Rand 47579356001 40068389 Water-Cooled Service and Breather Filtration Configuration

Where It Excels in Industrial Use

• Designed for the 8,000-hour water-cooled maintenance requirements of compatible Ingersoll Rand IRN160K oil-free compressor systems.

• Combines the 47579356001 water-cooled maintenance package with the specified 40068389 breather element as one complete service configuration.

• Well suited to industrial compressed-air installations where scheduled maintenance and reliable breather filtration are important to long-term compressor operation.

• Supports planned service activities by incorporating the specified breather element into the broader maintenance reference rather than treating the component as an unrelated replacement part.

• Appropriate for production and process-air environments where maintaining clean breather airflow helps manage contamination within the compressor air and oil-management system.

Key Strengths at a Glance

• 8,000-hour service coverage: 47579356001 is identified as an 8,000-hour water-cooled maintenance kit for compatible IRN160K oil-free equipment.

• Breather filtration: 40068389 is identified as an element breather used within the applicable compressor breather assembly.

• Complete service reference: The paired part numbers provide a consolidated configuration for maintenance planning and parts procurement.

• Contamination management: A properly maintained breather element helps limit particulate entry into the associated breather circuit.

• Application-specific compatibility: Compressor model, serial number, breather assembly, and current parts documentation should be confirmed before installation.

Technical FAQs

1. What is the Ingersoll Rand 47579356001 40068389 configuration?

It is a combined service configuration pairing the 47579356001 8,000-hour water-cooled maintenance kit with the specified 40068389 breather element.

2. Which compressor is associated with 47579356001?

47579356001 is identified as an 8,000-hour water-cooled maintenance kit for compatible Ingersoll Rand IRN160K oil-free compressor systems.

3. What is the function of 40068389?

40068389 is an element breather used in the compressor breather assembly to provide filtration within the associated breather airflow path.

4. How does the breather element support compressor operation?

The breather element helps control particulate contamination in the breather circuit and supports clean airflow through the associated compressor assembly.

5. How many 40068389 elements are associated with the applicable configuration?

Available parts information identifies two 40068389 breather elements in the applicable IRN90K–160K oil-free compressor breather arrangement.

6. What should be checked before installing 40068389?

The compressor model and serial number, breather housing, element quantity, sealing arrangement, installation position, and current parts documentation should be verified before installation.

7. Can 40068389 be replaced by a generic filter element?

A generic element should not be substituted without confirming the required filtration characteristics, airflow resistance, physical fit, sealing requirements, and compressor-specific application.

8. What conditions can increase breather-element loading?

High airborne contamination, dusty operating environments, inadequate maintenance, and extended operation beyond the recommended inspection or replacement interval can increase contamination and loading.

9. What signs can indicate a breather element requires inspection?

Visible contamination, restricted airflow, abnormal breather-system behavior, or conditions identified during scheduled compressor inspection can indicate that the element requires service.

10. Should 40068389 be serviced with the 8,000-hour maintenance package?

Its inspection or replacement should follow the applicable Ingersoll Rand maintenance procedure; when 40068389 is specified with the complete configuration, breather-element service should be coordinated with the scheduled maintenance event.
