Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand inlet filter element engineered for the UP5-11C-8 series small rotary screw air compressor. It uses high-efficiency synthetic fibre media to block dust, dirt and particulate matter from entering the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings and shaft seals from wear and extending compressor service life.
The 88171913 is installed inside filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most important consumables in routine UP5-11C-8 maintenance. As an Ingersoll Rand OEM inlet filtration part, it is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and offers low initial resistance, straightforward installation and reliable sealing.

7. Standards
- ISO 5011: Inlet air filter performance testing for internal combustion engines and compressors (efficiency and dust capacity)
- ISO 16890 / EN 779: Classification of air filters for general ventilation
- 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 blackened media, heavy dust accumulation, or differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and isolate power: Turn off the compressor and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
- Open the filter housing 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 centre 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 ageing.
- Install the new element: Slide the new element onto the centre fixing stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: Replace the cover, secure clips or tighten 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 88171913 a genuine OEM part?
A: 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and fits filter housing assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 88171913 fit?
A: 88171913 is designed specifically for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small rotary screw air compressor. If you are unsure about your model, provide the machine 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 part). The element is installed 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 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 ageing, which can raise oil carryover or even lead to airend failure.
