Air Intake Filter Element Replacement – 88226220

The 88226220 Air Intake Filter Element is a high-efficiency replacement air filter designed for Ingersoll Rand rotary screw air compressors. It removes dust, dirt, sand, pollen, and other airborne contaminants from the incoming air before it enters the compressor’s air end. By supplying clean air, the filter protects the compressor’s rotors, bearings, and internal components from abrasive wear, ensuring reliable performance, lower maintenance costs, and longer equipment life. The pleated filter media provides high dust-holding capacity while maintaining low airflow resistance for maximum compressor efficiency.

Working Process

1. Air Intake
   • Ambient air is drawn into the compressor through the air intake filter.
2. Filtration
   • The pleated filter media traps dust, dirt, and other contaminants while allowing clean air to pass through.
3. Clean Air Supply
   • Filtered air enters the compressor’s air end where it is compressed.
4. Protection
   • The filter prevents contaminants from reaching the rotors and bearings, reducing wear and preventing premature failure.
5. Maintenance
   • As contaminants accumulate, airflow resistance gradually increases. The filter should be inspected regularly and replaced according to the compressor maintenance schedule or when the pressure drop becomes excessive.
