Product Overview
Reliable oil filtration is essential for maintaining the lubrication system, internal cleanliness, and operating stability of an industrial air compressor. The Ingersoll Rand 47704433001 / 24900433 Oil Filter is a replacement oil filtration component designed for compatible Ingersoll Rand compressor systems.
The oil filter removes particulate contamination and other debris from the compressor lubricant as oil circulates through the lubrication system. Effective filtration helps protect precision internal components from contamination while supporting stable oil flow and reliable compressor operation.
The 24900433 identification is associated with the oil filter, while 47704433001 is another part identification used for the same replacement component. The supplied product dimensions are 208 × 50 × 95 mm, with a listed weight of approximately 1.36 kg.
For compressor maintenance teams, the oil filter is a routine service component. Replacing it at the appropriate maintenance interval can help prevent excessive contamination from circulating through the compressor’s lubrication circuit.

Function and Working Principle
The Ingersoll Rand 47704433001 / 24900433 operates as a filtration element within the compressor’s lubrication circuit.
During compressor operation, lubricating oil circulates through the system to perform functions such as lubrication, cooling, and sealing. Before the oil reaches sensitive internal components, it passes through the oil filter.
The basic filtration process can be represented as:
Compressor Oil → Oil Filter → Cleaned Lubricant → Compressor Lubrication Circuit
As the oil passes through the filter media, suspended particles and other contaminants are retained. This helps reduce the quantity of unwanted material circulating through the compressor.
Effective oil filtration can help protect:
- Bearings
- Rotating components
- Oil-injected compressor elements
- Lubrication passages
- Sealing surfaces
- Valves and associated components
- Other oil-dependent internal components
As the filter accumulates contamination, its flow resistance can increase. For this reason, the oil filter should be inspected and replaced according to the maintenance requirements of the specific compressor.
Role in Industrial Air Compressor Systems
The oil filter is an important component of an oil-lubricated compressor’s maintenance system.
Compressor oil is exposed to heat, mechanical operation, and continuous circulation. Over time, contamination can enter the lubrication circuit from several sources, including component wear, degradation products, environmental contamination, and particles generated during operation.
The 47704433001 / 24900433 helps intercept this contamination before it can continue circulating through the lubrication system.
Its role includes:
- Maintaining cleaner compressor lubricant
- Protecting internal lubricated components
- Reducing particulate circulation
- Supporting reliable oil flow
- Helping maintain lubrication-system cleanliness
- Supporting compressor service life
- Contributing to preventive maintenance
- Helping maintain stable compressor operation
An oil filter should therefore be considered a critical consumable component rather than simply an accessory.
Industrial Applications
The Ingersoll Rand 47704433001 / 24900433 can be used in compatible Ingersoll Rand oil-lubricated compressor applications, including industrial compressed-air installations.
Typical environments include:
- Manufacturing plants
- Automotive production
- Metalworking facilities
- Packaging plants
- Industrial workshops
- Process manufacturing
- Assembly facilities
- General factory automation
- Compressor rooms
- Production air systems
- Industrial utility systems
The filter is particularly important in compressor installations that operate continuously or for long periods because lubricant cleanliness becomes increasingly important as operating hours accumulate.
Installation and System Integration
The 47704433001 / 24900433 is installed within the compressor’s oil filtration circuit.
A typical replacement procedure includes:
- Shut down the compressor according to the applicable service procedure.
- Isolate the equipment and allow pressure and temperature to reach safe levels.
- Locate the compressor oil filter assembly.
- Remove the existing oil filter using the appropriate maintenance procedure.
- Inspect the filter housing and surrounding area for contamination or damage.
- Clean the sealing area before installing the replacement filter.
- Install the new 47704433001 / 24900433 filter correctly.
- Ensure the sealing surface is properly seated.
- Restore the compressor to its normal operating configuration.
- Start the compressor and inspect the oil filtration area for leakage.
- Verify normal oil pressure and operating conditions.
The exact replacement procedure depends on the specific compressor model. Maintenance personnel should always use the correct service procedure for the equipment being maintained.
It is also important to use the correct filter specification rather than selecting a replacement solely because it has similar physical dimensions.
