Ingersoll Rand 54672530 Air Filter Element | N55/N75 Compressor

Product Overview

The 54672530 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter designed for N55 and N75 series screw air compressors. Its synthetic fiberglass media captures airborne dust and particulate before it reaches the airend, helping protect rotors, bearings, and shaft seals from abrasive wear and extending compressor service life.

This large cylindrical pleated element measures approximately 247 mm outer diameter by 365 mm overall height, with a red polyurethane (PU) sealing cap. It is also cross-compatible with several Atlas Copco part numbers and carries the HiFi Filter cross-reference SA17281.

Technical Specifications

Filtration Performance

Operating Conditions

• Operating temperature: -20°C to 80°C continuous; 100°C short-term
• Relative humidity: ≤95% RH, non-condensing
• Collapse pressure resistance: ≥4.0 kPa
• Features: low resistance, high dust holding capacity, suitable for continuous industrial duty

Service Life and Storage

• 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 when kept sealed in a dry, ambient-temperature store

Standards

• ISO 5011 — inlet air filter performance testing
• ISO 16890 / EN 779 — general ventilation air filter classification
• GB/T 14295 — air filters
• GB/T 6165 — air filter performance test methods

Maintenance and Installation

Replacement Interval

• Standard conditions: every 4,000 hours or 8–12 months, whichever comes first
• High-dust conditions: every 2,000–3,000 hours
• Replace immediately if the media is visibly blackened, heavily loaded, or differential pressure reaches 900 Pa

Installation Steps

1. Shut down and isolate: switch off main power, apply lockout/tagout (LOTO), and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
2. Open the filter housing: release the retaining bolts or clamps and remove the cover.
3. Remove the old element: withdraw the old 54672530 element and check whether the seal remains in the housing groove.
4. Clean the housing: wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth.
5. Inspect the new element: verify part number 54672530, check media for damage, end caps for cracks, and red seals for ageing.
6. Install the new element: seat it vertically in the housing center with both seals fully engaged and no misalignment.
7. Refit the cover: reinstall and tighten bolts or clamps evenly.
8. Start-up check: run the compressor and listen for air leaks at the filter housing.
