Ingersoll Rand 88171913 Air Filter Element | UP5-11C-8 Compressor

Product Overview

The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter designed specifically for the UP5-11C-8 series small rotary screw air compressor. Using high-efficiency synthetic fiber media, it blocks dust and airborne particles from entering the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings and shaft seals from wear and extending compressor service life.

The 88171913 installs inside air filter assembly 89243778 and is one of the most critical consumables in UP5-11C-8 routine maintenance. As an original intake filtration part, it is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, offering low initial resistance, straightforward installation and reliable sealing.

• Shelf Life: 36 months in original sealed packaging, dry, ambient temperature

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 filter performance (efficiency and resistance)

Maintenance and Installation

Replacement Interval

• Standard conditions: every 2000–4000 hours or 6–12 months, whichever comes first
• High-dust conditions (construction sites, woodworking shops, mines): every 1000–2000 hours
• Replace immediately if visual inspection shows blackened media, heavy dust accumulation, or pressure differential reaches 600 Pa

Installation Steps

1. Shut down and disconnect power: Turn off the compressor and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
2. Open the filter housing: Release the end-cap latches or nuts on air filter assembly 89243778 and remove the cover.
3. Remove the old element: Pull out the old 88171913 element and check whether the center gasket remains in the housing groove.
4. Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surface with a clean cloth. Never reverse-blow and reuse an old element.
5. Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913; check media for damage, pleats for deformation, end caps for cracks, and gasket for aging.
6. Install the new element: Slide the new element onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats evenly top and bottom without skew or twist.
7. Refit the cover: Reinstall the end cap and secure latches or nuts; ensure a gap-free seal.
8. 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 original part?
A: The 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part, manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and compatible with air filter 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 your model, provide the compressor serial number and we will confirm fitment.

Q3: What is the relationship between 88171913 and 89243778?
A: 88171913 is the filter element (consumable); 89243778 is the filter housing assembly (permanent). The element fits inside the housing, and 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 blackened media or heavy dust; (2) operating differential reaches the 500 Pa alarm value; or (3) the 2000–4000 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, reducing discharge volume and increasing specific power and energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and seal aging, which can raise oil carryover or even lead to airend failure.
