Product Overview

The Ingersoll Rand 47623613001 / 24900318 Air Filter is a high-efficiency intake air filter engineered for Ingersoll Rand oil-injected rotary screw air compressors. Designed to remove airborne contaminants before they enter the compressor airend, this industrial-grade filter helps maintain clean airflow, improve compression efficiency, and protect critical internal components from premature wear.

Air quality is one of the most important factors affecting compressor performance and service life. During continuous operation, compressors draw in large volumes of ambient air containing dust, sand, fibers, pollen, soot, and other airborne contaminants. Without proper filtration, these particles can damage screw rotors, bearings, valves, and lubrication systems while increasing energy consumption and maintenance costs. The 24900318 Air Filter effectively captures fine particulate matter while maintaining a low-pressure drop, ensuring a consistent supply of clean intake air.

Constructed with premium cellulose and synthetic filtration media, reinforced metal end caps, and a durable steel mesh support structure, the filter provides excellent mechanical strength and long service life. Its large filtration surface area increases dust-holding capacity, extends maintenance intervals, and ensures stable airflow under demanding industrial operating conditions.

With dimensions of 226 × 470 × 160 mm and a weight of 3.1 kg, the Ingersoll Rand 47623613001 / 24900318 Air Filter is an ideal replacement component for maintaining the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of industrial rotary screw air compressor systems.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The Ingersoll Rand 47623613001 / 24900318 Air Filter serves as the first line of defense against airborne contamination entering the compressor.

During compressor operation, ambient air is drawn through the pleated filter element. The multi-layer filtration media traps dust, dirt, fibers, insects, pollen, and other particulate contaminants while allowing clean air to pass with minimal airflow restriction. The reinforced pleated design maximizes filtration surface area, increasing dust-holding capacity without significantly increasing pressure loss.

Clean intake air protects the compressor airend, lubrication system, bearings, and downstream components from abrasive wear. Reduced contamination also improves compression efficiency, lowers operating temperatures, and contributes to lower energy consumption.

Key operating features include:

• High-efficiency particulate filtration
• Large pleated filtration surface
• Low airflow resistance
• High dust-holding capacity
• Reinforced structural design
• Stable airflow under heavy-duty operation
• Improved compressor efficiency
• Extended equipment service life
