Product Overview

This air filter element is the official Ingersoll Rand upgrade part number 47701891001, which supersedes the older 39903281. Both part numbers share identical installation dimensions, filtration performance, and service life, making them fully interchangeable without any modification to the housing or mounting structure.

The element is constructed with imported wood pulp filter paper or glass fiber composite media (Ahlstrom grade), delivering high dust-holding capacity and low flow resistance. It filters particles in the 5–10 μm range with ≥98% efficiency for particles above 5 μm, protecting the compressor airend while keeping energy consumption in check.

Compatible Ingersoll Rand Models

This element fits six Ingersoll Rand oil-flooded rotary screw compressor models:

  • SSR S Series: S90 (90 kW), S110 (110 kW), S150 (150 kW)
  • SSR M Series: M185 (185 kW)
  • RM Series: RM185i (185 kW, fixed speed), RM185n (185 kW, variable speed)

To confirm 100% compatibility, provide the complete compressor serial number and we will verify the match.

Installation & Maintenance

Replacement Interval

The manufacturer recommends replacement every 2,000 hours or 1 year, whichever comes first. In dusty environments (e.g., foundries, construction sites), inspect monthly and shorten the interval as needed.

Signs Replacement Is Due

  • Intake restriction indicator enters the yellow zone and remains there after shutdown.
  • Dust traces are visible on the clean side of the filter housing.
  • Discharge volume drops continuously with no other fault identified.

Do Not Clean and Reuse

Dry pleated elements cannot be washed or blown clean — cleaning damages the pleat structure and reduces filtration efficiency. Replace with a new element.

Installation Steps

  1. Shut down the compressor, lock out/tag out, and allow the enclosure to cool.
  2. Open the intake-side enclosure panel and release the filter housing cover.
  3. Grip the end cap and remove the old element.
  4. Inspect the housing interior — dust on the clean side indicates a seal failure that must be corrected before installing a new element.
  5. Wipe the sealing surface, insert the new element (ID ≈199 mm aligned with the intake), and avoid over-tightening.
  6. Reinstall the housing cover and confirm the restriction indicator returns to the clean position.
  7. Restart the compressor and verify intake restriction has returned to normal.

Direct interchange: 47701891001 and 39903281 share identical installation dimensions. No housing changes or structural modifications are required.

FAQ

Q1. What is the new part number for 39903281?
47701891001 — the official Ingersoll Rand upgrade for the older 39903281.

Q2. Are 39903281 and 47701891001 interchangeable?
Yes. Installation dimensions, filtration performance, and service life are identical, allowing direct interchange.

Q3. What are the dimensions of 39903281?
OD ≈380 mm, ID ≈199 mm, height ≈178 mm (including polyurethane end caps). OD tolerance is ±2 mm.

Q4. What is the filtration rating?
5–10 μm, with ≥98% efficiency for particles above 5 μm.

Q5. What filter media is used?
Imported wood pulp / glass fiber composite (Ahlstrom-grade), offering high dust capacity and low flow resistance.

Q6. Which compressors does it fit?
Six models: S90, S110, S150 (SSR S Series), M185 (SSR M Series), and RM185i, RM185n (RM Series).

Q7. What is the difference between RM185i and RM185n?
“i” denotes fixed speed; “n” denotes variable speed. Both use the same air filter element.

Q8. How often should it be replaced?
Every 2,000 hours or 1 year, whichever comes first. Shorten the interval in dusty conditions.

Q9. How many elements per compressor?
One.

Q10. How do I know when to replace it?
When the intake restriction indicator turns yellow and stays yellow after shutdown.

Q11. Can 39903281 be washed and reused?
No. Dry pleated elements cannot be washed or blown clean; cleaning damages the pleats and reduces efficiency.

Q12. How can I confirm fitment?
Provide the complete compressor serial number for a precise compatibility check.
