Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand inlet filter element engineered for the UP5-11C-8 series rotary screw air compressor. Its synthetic fiber media captures dust and airborne particles before they reach the airend, helping protect rotors, bearings and shaft seals from abrasive wear and extending compressor service life.
The 88171913 element installs inside air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most frequently replaced consumables in UP5-11C-8 routine maintenance. As an original Ingersoll Rand inlet filtration part, it is produced to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and offers low initial pressure drop, straightforward installation and reliable sealing.

7. 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 filter performance (efficiency and resistance)
Maintenance and Installation
Replacement intervals
- 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 dark or heavily loaded media, or if differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation steps
- Shut down and isolate power: Switch off the compressor and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover: Release the end-cover 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 gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth. Do not reverse-blow old elements with compressed air and reuse them.
- 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 it onto the center fixing stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly top and bottom without skew or twist.
- Refit the cover: Reinstall the cover and secure clips or nuts, ensuring 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 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: Yes, 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement part produced to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and designed for filter housing assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 88171913 fit?
A: It is designed for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small rotary screw air 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 air filter element (consumable); 89243778 is the filter housing assembly (permanent part). The element fits inside the housing and is replaced without changing the housing.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) visual inspection shows dark or heavily loaded media; (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 inlet air, reducing discharge volume and raising specific power consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and seal aging, which can increase oil carryover and even lead to airend failure.
