Applicable Standards
- ISO 5011: Inlet air cleaning equipment for internal combustion engines and compressors — performance testing
- ISO 16890 / EN 779: Air filters for general ventilation — classification
- GB/T 14295: Air filters
- GB/T 6165: Test methods for air filters — efficiency and resistance
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, etc.): every 1,000–2,000 hours
- Replace immediately if visual inspection shows darkening, heavy dust loading, or differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and isolate power: Turn off compressor power and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover: Release the clips or nuts on housing assembly 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove the old element: Pull out the old 88171913 element and check whether the center seal remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surface with a clean cloth. Do not reverse-blow old elements with compressed air and reuse.
- Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913, check media for damage, pleats for deformation, end caps for cracks, and seal for aging.
- Install the new element: Slide the new element onto the center stud, ensuring the seal seats evenly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: Reinstall 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 the 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: The 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and fits housing assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does the 88171913 fit?
A: It is designed for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small rotary screw compressor. If you are unsure about fitment, 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 filter housing assembly (permanent component). The element installs 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 darkening or heavy dust loading; (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 and increasing specific power consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and seal aging, which can raise oil carryover and even lead to airend failure.
