Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter designed for the UP5-11C-8 series rotary screw air compressor. It uses high-efficiency synthetic fiber media to block dust and particulate matter from entering the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings, and oil seals from wear and extending compressor service life.
The 88171913 installs inside air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most critical consumables in routine UP5-11C-8 maintenance. As an Ingersoll Rand intake filtration component, it is manufactured to global technical standards with low initial resistance, straightforward installation, and reliable sealing.

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: Methods for testing air filter performance (efficiency and resistance)
Maintenance and Installation Steps
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): 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 clips or nuts on housing assembly 89243778 and remove the top 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. Never blow out and reuse an old element with compressed air.
- Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913; check for media damage, pleat deformation, cracked end caps, or aged gaskets.
- Install the new element: Slide it onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: Reinstall the cover and secure clips or nuts so the seal has no gaps.
- 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 replacement part manufactured to global technical standards and designed for air filter housing 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 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 component). The element installs inside the housing; 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 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 causes insufficient intake, reduced discharge volume, higher specific power, and increased energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend and wears rotors, bearings, and oil seals, leading to higher oil carryover or even airend failure.
