Product Overview

The Ingersoll Rand 47639430001 24900458 Oil Filter is a replacement filtration component for Ingersoll Rand compressor lubrication systems. It is installed in the oil circulation path to remove particulate contamination from the lubricating oil before the oil continues through the compressor circuit.

During operation, compressor oil can carry particles generated by normal equipment wear as well as contaminants introduced during servicing or from the operating environment. The oil filter captures these particles and helps maintain cleaner oil circulation to lubrication-dependent components.

The filter is typically replaced as part of scheduled compressor maintenance. Correct part-number identification, proper installation, and inspection of the filter mounting and sealing areas are important when servicing an existing compressor.

Technical Specifications

Product Features

• Intended for oil filtration in Ingersoll Rand compressor equipment.
• Helps remove particulate contamination from circulating lubrication oil.
• Supports cleaner oil circulation through the compressor lubrication circuit.
• Helps limit contaminants reaching lubrication-dependent components.
• Suitable for scheduled compressor maintenance and oil-filter replacement.
• Provides identifiable part numbers for spare-parts matching.
• Supports routine service of compressor lubrication systems.

Working Principle

The oil filter is installed in the compressor lubrication circuit so that circulating oil passes through its filtration media. Solid particles suspended in the oil are retained by the media while filtered oil continues through the lubrication path.

As contaminants accumulate, the filter media can become increasingly loaded and may create greater resistance to oil flow. Filter condition therefore needs to be considered alongside oil condition, operating hours, and the compressor manufacturer’s maintenance requirements.

The filter is a passive mechanical component. Proper sealing at the mounting interface is essential because an improperly installed filter can result in oil leakage or compromise the intended filtration path.

Industrial Applications

Installation and Maintenance

1. Verify the Part Number — Confirm that 47639430001 and 24900458 match the required compressor configuration before installation.
2. Shut Down the Compressor — Stop the compressor and follow the applicable isolation and lockout procedure before servicing the lubrication circuit.
3. Release System Pressure Safely — Follow the equipment service procedure to ensure residual pressure and stored energy are safely controlled before removing the filter.
4. Inspect the Existing Filter — Check the removed filter for abnormal contamination, metal particles, oil discoloration, or other indications of equipment condition.
5. Clean the Mounting Area — Remove dirt and residual oil from the filter mounting surface before installing the replacement.
6. Inspect the Sealing Area — Check the filter seal and mating surface for contamination, damage, or deformation.
7. Install the Replacement Filter — Fit the filter according to the compressor manufacturer’s specified installation procedure.
8. Avoid Cross-Threading — Carefully engage the filter mounting interface before applying final tightening force.
9. Verify the Oil Level — Check the compressor oil level after installation and adjust it according to the applicable service procedure.
10. Check for Oil Leakage — Restart the compressor according to the normal procedure and inspect the filter connection for leakage.
11. Monitor Operating Conditions — Observe available oil pressure, temperature, and other compressor operating indications after replacement.
12. Record the Maintenance — Document the filter part number, service date, operating hours, and relevant maintenance observations.

Technical FAQs

What is the primary function of the Ingersoll Rand 24900458 Oil Filter?

The oil filter removes particulate contamination from circulating compressor oil before the oil continues through the lubrication circuit.

What is the relationship between 47639430001 and 24900458?

47639430001 is the identified Ingersoll Rand part number, while 24900458 is an associated part-number reference for the oil filter. The two identifiers should be checked against the compressor’s applicable parts documentation before replacement.

What should be inspected when replacing the oil filter?

Inspect the removed filter, mounting surface, sealing area, and surrounding lubrication connections. Unusual metal particles or excessive contamination in the removed filter may also warrant further compressor inspection.

What should be checked after installing a replacement oil filter?

Confirm that the filter is correctly installed and sealed, verify the oil level, and inspect the connection for leakage after startup. Available oil pressure and temperature indications should also be monitored for abnormal conditions.
