Product Overview
The Ingersoll Rand 47629376001 24242273 Coalescing Filter is an oil-removal filter element used in compatible compressed-air filtration systems. Part number 24242273 is associated with the FA490IH high-efficiency coalescing filter element, which is intended to remove fine oil aerosols and particulate contamination from compressed air.
Compressed air leaving an oil-injected compressor can carry residual oil mist, airborne particles, and other contaminants. These contaminants may affect pneumatic equipment, instrument air systems, production processes, and downstream air-treatment components. A coalescing filter addresses this problem by collecting fine liquid droplets and allowing them to combine into larger droplets that can drain away from the filter media.
The FA490IH element is specified for high-efficiency oil removal, with a nominal filtration rating of 0.01 micron and a residual oil aerosol specification of 0.01 mg/m³ under the applicable operating conditions. It is intended to operate as part of a properly configured compressed-air treatment system rather than as a standalone replacement for every type of air filter.
For effective filtration, the coalescing element should be installed downstream of an appropriate general-purpose pre-filter. The upstream stage removes larger particles and liquid contamination that would otherwise increase the loading on the fine filtration media. Correct filter selection, condensate drainage, and routine element replacement all contribute to maintaining the intended compressed-air quality.

Working Principle
The 24242273 coalescing filter element removes fine contaminants by passing compressed air through specialized filtration media. As the air travels through the media, suspended particles and liquid oil aerosols are captured. Small oil droplets combine into larger droplets through the coalescing process, allowing the collected liquid to drain toward the designated collection area.
A typical filtration arrangement is:
Air Compressor → General-Purpose Pre-Filter → FA490IH Coalescing Filter → Downstream Air Treatment → Point of Use
The upstream pre-filter removes larger particles and liquid contamination before the air reaches the coalescing stage. This reduces unnecessary loading on the fine filter media and helps maintain filtration performance over the element’s service life.
Within the coalescing element, the filtration media captures fine oil droplets and promotes their combination into larger droplets. The collected liquid is then removed through the filter housing’s drainage arrangement. Proper drainage is essential because accumulated liquid can compromise the intended separation process and increase the risk of downstream carryover.
As the element accumulates contaminants, airflow resistance may increase. Excessive differential pressure can affect the compressed-air system’s energy consumption and available downstream pressure. Monitoring pressure drop and following the applicable maintenance schedule helps determine when the element requires replacement.
The coalescing element is not a substitute for every other air-treatment stage. It does not automatically remove all water vapor, dissolved contaminants, or every gaseous impurity. Applications with specific air-quality requirements may also need drying equipment, particulate filtration, or additional treatment stages.
Role in the Compressed-Air Treatment System
The 24242273 element serves as the fine oil-aerosol removal stage in a compatible compressed-air filtration arrangement. Its performance depends on the upstream filtration stage, filter housing, condensate drainage, and operating airflow.

Installation and Maintenance
- Verify the part number: Confirm 24242273 and the FA490IH element designation against the installed filter housing and equipment parts identification.
- Check the filtration requirement: Establish whether the application requires high-efficiency oil-aerosol removal and verify that the selected element matches the required air-quality specification.
- Inspect the upstream filtration stage: Confirm that a suitable general-purpose pre-filter is installed and functioning correctly to reduce contamination loading on the coalescing element.
- Shut down the filtration system: Follow the approved isolation procedure before opening the filter housing or removing the existing element.
- Depressurize the housing: Verify that the filter vessel is fully depressurized before loosening the housing or accessing internal components.
- Remove the existing element: Follow the housing-specific service procedure and prevent accumulated condensate or contamination from entering the downstream air line.
- Inspect the filter housing: Check the internal surfaces, element seating area, seals, and drainage passage for contamination or damage.
- Check the replacement element: Confirm that the new element matches the required part number and that its filtration media and sealing surfaces are undamaged.
- Install the element correctly: Fit the replacement according to the housing instructions, ensuring that the element is properly seated and that the required seals are correctly positioned.
- Verify the condensate drain: Check the drain arrangement for blockage or malfunction that could allow collected liquid to accumulate inside the housing.
- Restore pressure and inspect operation: Return the system to service according to the approved procedure and check for leakage, abnormal pressure drop, and correct airflow.
- Record the maintenance: Document the element part number, replacement date, observed contamination, differential-pressure readings where available, and any additional service work performed.

Technical FAQs
Why should a general-purpose pre-filter be installed before the 24242273 element?
The upstream filter removes larger particles and liquid contamination before they reach the fine coalescing media. This helps reduce premature loading and supports the intended service life of the oil-removal element.
What does the FA490IH designation indicate?
FA490IH identifies the associated high-efficiency coalescing filter element configuration. The designation distinguishes it from other filter grades within the Ingersoll Rand compressed-air filtration range, which may have different contaminant-removal characteristics.
What can cause increasing pressure drop across the coalescing element?
Progressive contaminant loading, liquid accumulation, unsuitable upstream filtration, or restricted drainage can contribute to increasing pressure drop. Check the pre-filter, drain, housing, and operating airflow before concluding that the element alone is responsible.
Can the 24242273 element remove all moisture from compressed air?
No. Coalescing filtration removes suspended liquid aerosols and particles, but it does not eliminate water vapor. Where a low pressure dew point is required, an appropriately selected compressed-air dryer is also necessary.
