Standard 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 blackened media, heavy dust accumulation, or if differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and disconnect power: Turn off the compressor and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover: Release the clips or nuts on air filter assembly 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove the old element: Pull out the old 88171913 element and check whether the center gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth to remove dust and debris. Never reverse-blow an old element with compressed air and reuse it.
- Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913; check for media damage, pleat deformation, cracked end caps or aged gaskets.
- Install the new element: Slide it onto the center mounting stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly on both sides without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: Replace the cover and secure clips or nuts to ensure a gap-free seal.
- Start-up check: Start the compressor, listen for air leaks at the filter housing and confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: Yes, 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and fits air filter assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 88171913 fit?
A: It is designed for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small rotary screw air compressor. If you are unsure about your model, provide the machine 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 component). The element is installed inside the housing and is replaced without changing the housing.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) visual inspection shows blackened media or heavy dust; (2) operating differential pressure 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, raising specific power and increasing energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and seal aging, which can lead to higher oil carryover or even airend failure.
