Product Overview

The Ingersoll Rand 47647272001 42843797 Oil Filter is an industrial filtration component designed for use in compatible Ingersoll Rand compressor lubrication systems. The oil filter plays an important role in maintaining the cleanliness of circulating compressor oil by capturing particulate contamination that could otherwise circulate through the lubrication system.

In an industrial compressor, clean lubrication oil is essential for maintaining the operating condition of internal components. During normal operation, the lubrication circuit may collect particles and other contaminants generated by equipment operation or introduced through the surrounding environment. The oil filter provides a controlled filtration point within the lubrication system to help reduce the circulation of these contaminants.

The supplied identification is 47647272001, with 42843797 associated with the oil filter. The listed outer diameter is 96 mm, and the listed weight is 1.15 kg.

Because filter construction, filtration rating, connection configuration, pressure limits, and oil compatibility can vary between compressor models, these details should be verified against the applicable equipment configuration before replacement.

Technical Specifications

What Is the Ingersoll Rand 47647272001 42843797 Oil Filter?

The Ingersoll Rand 47647272001 42843797 Oil Filter is a replaceable filtration component used within a compatible compressor lubrication system.

Its primary purpose is to remove particulate contamination from circulating compressor oil before the oil continues through the lubrication circuit.

A simplified lubrication path can be represented as:

Oil Reservoir / Lubrication Circuit → Oil Filter → Compressor Components → Return / Circulation

The actual oil-flow arrangement depends on the compressor design.

The filter is therefore an important service component rather than a simple storage or fluid-transfer component.

Oil Filtration Working Principle

During compressor operation, lubrication oil circulates through the equipment to provide the required lubrication and thermal management functions.

As oil moves through the lubrication circuit, it can carry suspended particulate material.

The oil filter provides a filtration barrier that retains suitable contaminants while allowing the filtered oil to continue through the system.

Over time, accumulated contamination can increase the resistance to oil flow through the filter. This is one reason why oil filter condition should be considered during scheduled compressor maintenance.

The exact filtration mechanism and performance depend on the filter construction and the compressor application.

Importance of Oil Filtration in Compressors

Oil filtration contributes to the overall cleanliness of the compressor lubrication system.

Contaminant Control

The filter helps capture particulate contamination carried by the circulating oil.

Lubrication-System Protection

Maintaining cleaner oil can help reduce unnecessary exposure of compatible internal components to particulate contamination.

Compressor Reliability

1. Shut Down the Compressor

Before servicing the oil filter, place the compressor in the appropriate shutdown and maintenance condition.

Follow the equipment-specific isolation and safety procedures.

2. Confirm the Replacement Filter

Verify the identification:

47647272001 / 42843797

The listed outer diameter is:

96 mm

The replacement should be checked against the existing filter and compressor configuration.

3. Inspect the Existing Filter

During removal, inspect the existing filter and surrounding area for:

• Excessive contamination
• Oil leakage
• Damaged sealing areas
• Mechanical damage
• Abnormal deposits
• Installation problems

4. Inspect the Filter Mounting Area

Before installing the replacement, check the relevant mounting and sealing surfaces.

Any contamination or damage should be addressed according to the applicable maintenance procedure.

5. Install the New Filter

Install the replacement oil filter according to the compressor manufacturer’s applicable service procedure.

The filter must be correctly seated and properly secured.

6. Check for Leakage

After installation and startup, inspect the filter area for abnormal oil leakage.

7. Verify Compressor Operation

Confirm that the compressor operates normally after maintenance and that no abnormal lubrication-system condition is indicated.

Oil Filter Maintenance Strategy

Oil filter maintenance should be integrated into the overall compressor service program.

Important considerations include:

• Compressor operating hours
• Oil condition
• Operating environment
• Maintenance history
• Filter condition
• Compressor service requirements
• Evidence of abnormal contamination

A fixed generic replacement interval should not be assumed for every compressor installation. The appropriate service interval depends on the specific equipment and operating conditions.

Troubleshooting Oil Filter Problems

Oil Filter Restriction

If the filter becomes heavily loaded with contaminants, oil-flow resistance may increase.

Potential causes include:

• Extended service operation
• High contamination levels
• Abnormal oil condition
• Unsuitable maintenance practices
• Other lubrication-system issues

The filter should be inspected and serviced according to the equipment maintenance procedure.

Oil Leakage Around the Filter

Oil leakage around the filter area may be associated with:

• Improper installation
• Damaged sealing surfaces
• Incorrect filter installation
• Loose connection
• Seal-related problems

The complete filter installation should be inspected rather than assuming the filter element itself is defective.

Abnormal Oil Contamination

If unusually high levels of contamination are found during filter replacement, investigate the wider lubrication system.

Possible sources may include internal wear, contaminated oil, environmental contamination, or other equipment conditions.

Repeated Filter Loading

If replacement filters become heavily contaminated unusually quickly, investigate operating conditions and the compressor lubrication system.

Repeated filter loading may indicate an underlying equipment or maintenance issue rather than simply a normal filter replacement requirement.

Maintenance Recommendations

Follow the Compressor Service Schedule

Oil filter inspection and replacement should be incorporated into the appropriate compressor maintenance program.

Use the Correct Part

Verify the complete identification 47647272001 / 42843797 before installation.

Inspect the Sealing Area

A clean and correctly installed sealing surface helps reduce the risk of oil leakage.

Monitor Oil Condition

Oil condition can provide useful information about the overall condition of the lubrication system.

Record Filter Replacements

Maintaining service records can help identify contamination trends and establish appropriate maintenance intervals.

Investigate Abnormal Contamination

A heavily contaminated filter should not simply be discarded without considering whether it indicates another equipment condition requiring attention.

Physical Dimensions and Weight

The supplied physical specification for the Ingersoll Rand 47647272001 42843797 Oil Filter is:

• Outer Diameter: 96 mm
• Weight: 1.15 kg

The outer diameter is useful when checking physical compatibility with the intended filter housing.

The listed weight can also be useful for inventory management, handling, shipping preparation, and maintenance planning.

No overall height, internal diameter, thread specification, seal dimensions, or other physical parameters should be assumed unless confirmed for the specific filter configuration.

Replacement Compatibility

Before replacing an existing oil filter, technicians should verify more than physical dimensions.

Important identification information includes:

• Ingersoll Rand reference number
• Filter part number
• Compressor model
• Filter housing configuration
• Existing filter identification
• Lubrication-system requirements

The 96 mm outer diameter should not be used as the sole criterion for selecting a replacement.

Two filters can have similar external dimensions while having different filtration characteristics, connections, sealing arrangements, or application requirements.

Oil Filter and Compressor Reliability

The lubrication system is closely related to overall compressor reliability.

An appropriate maintenance strategy should consider the relationship between:

Oil Quality → Filtration → Lubrication → Component Protection → Compressor Operation

A properly maintained oil filtration system can help control particulate contamination within the lubrication circuit.

However, oil filtration is only one part of compressor maintenance. Oil condition, cooling, seals, bearings, valves, air filtration, and other service components may also affect equipment performance.

Storage and Handling

Replacement oil filters should be stored in a clean and dry environment.

During handling:

• Avoid impact or crushing.
• Keep the filter protected from contamination.
• Do not damage sealing surfaces.
• Keep protective packaging intact until installation when practical.
• Avoid exposing the filter to unnecessary moisture or contaminants.

Careful handling helps preserve the condition of the replacement component before it enters service.
