Product Overview

The Ingersoll Rand 47623613001 / 88089743 Breather Filter is a high-efficiency ventilation filter designed for Ingersoll Rand oil-injected rotary screw air compressors. Its primary function is to filter incoming atmospheric air entering the compressor oil reservoir during pressure equalization while preventing airborne contaminants such as dust, moisture, and particulate matter from entering the lubrication system.

In rotary screw compressors, pressure changes inside the oil separator tank occur during startup, shutdown, and normal operation. The breather filter allows clean air to flow into or out of the oil reservoir while maintaining a sealed and contamination-free lubrication system. By preventing dirt and moisture from entering the compressor oil, the filter helps preserve lubricant quality, protects internal components, and extends the service life of the compressor.

The 88089743 Breather Filter utilizes high-efficiency filtration media with excellent dust-holding capacity while maintaining unrestricted airflow. Its rugged industrial housing provides reliable operation under continuous temperature fluctuations, vibration, and demanding industrial environments. The durable construction minimizes maintenance requirements while ensuring long-term filtration performance.

With dimensions of 142 × 246 × 90 mm and a weight of 1.4 kg, the Ingersoll Rand 47623613001 / 88089743 Breather Filter provides dependable protection for industrial air compressor lubrication systems operating in harsh production environments.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The Ingersoll Rand 47623613001 / 88089743 Breather Filter protects the compressor lubrication system by filtering air entering the oil reservoir.

As pressure inside the separator tank changes during compressor operation, atmospheric air passes through the breather filter. The filter media captures dust, dirt, moisture, fibers, and other airborne contaminants before they enter the oil system. Clean air is allowed to pass freely, maintaining pressure balance while protecting compressor lubricant from contamination.

By preserving lubricant cleanliness, the breather filter helps reduce oil oxidation, minimizes wear on bearings and screw rotors, and improves the overall efficiency of the compressor lubrication system.

The optimized airflow design minimizes breathing resistance while maintaining high filtration efficiency, contributing to reliable compressor performance and reduced maintenance costs.

Key operating features include:

• High-efficiency air filtration
• Lubrication system contamination prevention
• Excellent airflow characteristics
• Low breathing resistance
• Heavy-duty industrial construction
• High dust-holding capacity
• Improved lubricant cleanliness
• Extended compressor service life
