Product Overview

The Ingersoll Rand 47639429001 24900326 Air Filter is a replacement filtration component used in compressed-air and industrial equipment applications. Its primary function is to remove airborne particles from the incoming air path before contamination can reach downstream components.

In compressor service, the air filter is exposed to dust, dirt, and other airborne contaminants during normal operation. A properly maintained filter helps keep the intake path clean and supports consistent airflow to the compressor system.

This filter is suited to maintenance and replacement work where the original filtration element has reached its service limit or shows signs of contamination. Correct identification of the part number is important when servicing an existing Ingersoll Rand installation.

Technical Specifications

Product Features

• Intended for air filtration in Ingersoll Rand equipment.
• Helps remove airborne contaminants from the intake air stream.
• Supports cleaner air entering the compressor system.
• Suitable for routine compressor maintenance and filter replacement.
• Helps reduce contamination reaching downstream compressor components.
• Can be used as a replacement part when the existing filter requires service.
• Part-number identification helps simplify maintenance and spare-parts matching.

Working Principle

The air filter works by forcing incoming air through its filtration media before the air reaches the compressor’s intake path. Solid contaminants are captured by the filter material while the filtered air continues toward the compressor.

As the filter collects dust and other particles, the resistance to airflow gradually increases. This is why filter condition is normally considered together with operating hours, environmental conditions, and the equipment’s maintenance requirements.

In a compressor installation, the filter is a passive component rather than an electrically controlled device. Its condition directly affects the cleanliness of the incoming air path, making inspection and timely replacement an important part of routine service.

Industrial Applications

Installation and Maintenance

1. Verify the Part Number — Confirm that 47639429001 and the associated 24900326 identification match the equipment service documentation before installation.
2. Inspect the Existing Filter — Check the removed filter for excessive dust loading, deformation, moisture, or other abnormal conditions.
3. Isolate the Equipment — Shut down the compressor and follow the applicable lockout and isolation procedure before accessing the filter housing.
4. Clean the Filter Housing — Remove loose dirt and contamination from the housing before installing the replacement filter.
5. Check the Sealing Area — Inspect sealing surfaces for damage, contamination, or deformation that could allow unfiltered air to bypass the element.
6. Install in the Correct Orientation — Position the replacement filter according to the equipment manufacturer’s installation arrangement.
7. Avoid Filter Damage — Do not force the filter into position or use tools that could deform the filtration element or sealing surfaces.
8. Secure the Housing — Reinstall the filter cover or retaining hardware and ensure the assembly is properly secured.
9. Inspect for Air Leakage — After installation, check the filter housing and associated connections for signs of leakage or improper seating.
10. Monitor Operating Conditions — Observe compressor operation after replacement and check for abnormal intake restriction or other indications.
11. Maintain Service Records — Record the replacement date, part number, and relevant operating information for future maintenance planning.
12. Replace According to Service Conditions — Filter replacement intervals should account for operating hours, ambient dust levels, contamination, and the equipment manufacturer’s maintenance requirements.
