Maintenance and Installation
Replacement Interval
- Standard conditions: every 2,000–4,000 hours or 6–12 months, whichever comes first
- High-dust conditions (construction sites, woodworking shops, mines): every 1,000–2,000 hours
- Replace immediately if visual inspection shows dark or heavily loaded media, or if pressure drop reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and isolate power: Turn off the compressor and confirm it has fully stopped.
- Open the filter housing: Release the clamps or nuts on assembly 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove the old element: Pull out the used 88171913 element and check whether the center gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner wall and sealing surface with a clean cloth. Never reverse-blow and reuse an old element.
- Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913; check media for damage, pleats for deformation, end caps for cracks, and gasket for aging.
- Install the new element: Slide it onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats evenly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: Reinstall the cover and tighten clamps or nuts so the seal is gap-free.
- Start-up check: Start the compressor and listen for air leaks at the filter housing; confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is the 88171913 a genuine OEM part?
A: Yes, the 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to global Ingersoll Rand technical standards and fits air filter assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does the 88171913 fit?
A: It is designed for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small screw compressor. If you are unsure, provide the compressor serial number and we will match it precisely.
Q3: What is the relationship between 88171913 and 89243778?
A: 88171913 is the air filter element (consumable); 89243778 is the air filter housing assembly (permanent). The element fits inside the housing; the housing does not need replacement when changing the element.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) visual inspection shows dark or heavily loaded media; (2) operating pressure drop reaches the 500 Pa alarm value; or (3) the 2,000–4,000 hour or 6–12 month interval is reached.
Q5: What happens if the air filter element is too dirty?
A: A clogged element restricts intake air, reducing discharge volume and increasing specific power and energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and oil seal aging, which can raise oil carryover and even lead to airend failure.
