Ingersoll Rand 54672530 Air Filter Element

54672530 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake air filter element engineered for N55 and N75 screw air compressors. The pleated cylindrical element uses high-efficiency synthetic fiberglass media to block dust and particulate before it reaches the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings, and shaft seals from abrasive wear and extending compressor service life.

The element measures approximately 247 mm outside diameter and 365 mm overall height, with a red polyurethane end-cap gasket. It cross-references HiFi Filter SA17281 and is also listed as compatible with several Atlas Copco part numbers.

• Relative humidity: ≤95% RH, no condensation
• Collapse pressure resistance: ≥4.0 kPa
• Service life: approx. 4,000 hours (8–12 months) under standard conditions; 2,000–3,000 hours in high-dust environments
• Shelf life: 36 months in original sealed packaging, dry, ambient temperature

Standards and Maintenance

Testing and classification references include ISO 5011, ISO 16890 / EN 779, GB/T 14295, and GB/T 6165.

Replacement interval: every 4,000 hours or 8–12 months under standard conditions, whichever comes first; every 2,000–3,000 hours in high-dust conditions. Replace immediately if the media is visibly blackened or heavily loaded, or if differential pressure reaches 900 Pa.

Installation steps:

1. Shut down and lock out the compressor main power (LOTO); confirm the unit has fully stopped.
2. Release the air filter cover bolts or clamps and remove the cover.
3. Withdraw the old 54672530 element and check whether the seal remains in the housing groove.
4. Wipe the housing interior and sealing face clean with a lint-free cloth.
5. Inspect the new element: confirm part number 54672530, and check media, end caps, and red seals for damage or aging.
6. Insert the new element vertically into the housing center; ensure upper and lower seals seat correctly without skewing.
7. Refit the cover and tighten bolts or clamps evenly.
8. Start the compressor and check for air leakage at the filter housing.

FAQ

Q1: Is 54672530 a genuine Ingersoll Rand part?
A: Yes. It is a genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement element with yellow high-efficiency media and a red polyurethane end-cap seal, built for N55/N75 screw compressors.

Q2: Which compressor models does 54672530 fit?
A: It fits Ingersoll Rand N55 and N75 screw compressors. If you are unsure, provide the compressor serial number for verification.

Q3: What is the cross-reference number?
A: HiFi Filter SA 17281. It is also listed as compatible with Atlas Copco part numbers 1613950100, 1613951000, 1631043700, and 2255300129.
