Ingersoll Rand Air Filter 47807240001

Ingersoll Rand Air Filter 47807240001 Product Overview and Key Specifications

Ingersoll Rand Air Filter (Part Number: 47807240001)​ is a genuine OEM air filter element designed for specific Ingersoll Rand screw air compressor models. Its primary function is to remove dust, particles, and contaminants from the intake air, protecting the compressor’s internal components and ensuring efficient operation The table below summarizes its core technical specifications for quick reference.

2. Detailed Technical Specifications

• Filtration Efficiency and Precision: Utilizes high-quality filter media (such as imported wood pulp filter paper) capable of achieving a filtration efficiency of up to 99.8%. It effectively filters airborne dust, sand, moisture, and oil mist.
• Physical Dimensions: The precise dimensions (outer diameter, height, interface threads) for part number 47807240001 are not explicitly listed in the search results. It is highly recommended to consult the official Ingersoll Rand parts manual​ for your specific compressor model or contact an authorized supplier to confirm the exact dimensions for a perfect fit.
• Materials and Construction: The filter element is typically made from robust materials like wood pulp filter paper, with metal end caps and reliable sealing rings to ensure a leak-free installation.

3. Compatible Air Compressor Models

The Ingersoll Rand 47807240001 air filter is designed for use in specific series of Ingersoll Rand screw air compressors. While the search results do not provide an exhaustive list for this specific part number, based on similar filter numbering patterns, it is likely compatible with various models across series such as the M series, ML/MM/MH series, and SSR series​ compressors .   Crucial Note: The most accurate compatibility information must be obtained from the parts list in your compressor’s operation and maintenance manual, or by providing your compressor’s specific model and serial number to a supplier for verification.

4. Function, Installation Location, and Importance

• Installation Location: This air filter element is installed in the compressor’s air intake port, housed within a plastic or metal filter housing.
• Core Functions:
  1. Air Purification: It is the first and most critical line of defense, preventing environmental pollutants from entering the compression chamber and protecting the compressor’s core components (screw rotor and bearings) from abrasive wear.
  2. System Protection: Clean intake air indirectly helps extend the service life of other consumables, such as the oil filter, oil separator element, and the lubricant itself, by reducing the overall contaminant load on the system.

5. Maintenance and Replacement Guide

Replacement Cycle:

• Standard recommendation: Replace every 2000 operating hours​ or 6 months​.
• In harsh environments with high dust concentrations, the interval should be shortened. Inspect every 500 hours, and consider replacement between 1000-1500 hours.
• If the compressor’s control panel indicates a differential pressure alarm, the filter must be replaced immediately.

Replacement Steps:

1. Safety First: Shut down the compressor, cut off the power supply, and ensure all pressure is safely released from the system.
2. Open the Filter Housing: Unscrew the fastening nuts on the filter housing cover and open the housing.
3. Remove the Old Element: Carefully take out the used air filter element.
4. Clean the Housing: Before installing the new element, clean the inside of the filter housing to remove any debris.
5. Install the New Element: Place the new 47807240001 filter into the housing, ensuring the seal is correctly positioned.
6. Close the Housing: Reassemble the housing cover and tighten the nuts evenly to ensure a proper seal.
7. Check for Leaks: Restart the compressor and check for any air leaks around the filter housing.

Maintenance Tip: During the service interval, the filter element can be removed periodically (e.g., weekly) and cleaned using compressed air at 0.2-0.4 MPa, blowing from the inside out, to remove surface dust and extend its life .  

6. Associated Filter Kits (“Three Filters”)

For optimal performance, it is often recommended to replace the “three filters” (air filter, oil filter, oil separator) as a set during maintenance. The table below lists examples of associated part numbers for compatible model
