Standards
- ISO 5011: Inlet air cleaning equipment for internal combustion engines and compressors — performance testing (efficiency and dust capacity)
- 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 blackened media, heavy dust accumulation, or if differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and disconnect power: Turn off the compressor power and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover: Release the end-cover clips or nuts on filter housing 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 for reuse.
- 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 the new element onto the center fixing stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: Reinstall the end cover and secure clips or tighten nuts to ensure a gap-free seal.
- Start-up check: Start the compressor and check for air leaks at the filter housing; confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is the 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: The 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand original part, produced to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and designed for filter housing assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does the 88171913 fit?
A: The 88171913 is designed specifically for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small screw air compressor. If you are unsure about your model, 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 part). The element is installed inside the housing; the housing does not need to be replaced when changing the element.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace in three cases: (1) visual inspection shows blackened media or heavy dust; (2) operating differential pressure reaches the 500 Pa alarm value; (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 causes insufficient intake, reduced discharge volume, higher specific power, and increased energy 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.
