About the 54749247 air-oil separator

The 54749247 is Kenrax's direct replacement air-oil separator for Ingersoll Rand compressor service. Ingersoll Rand air ends rely on clean intake and clean oil to hold their design clearances, which makes the air and oil filter the two most important elements on the machine. Rather than a generic 'fits most' element, it is built to the specific performance envelope of the machine it replaces.

Enhance the performance and longevity of your Ingersoll Rand compressors with our high-quality Separator (Part Number: 54749247). Designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, these Separator ensure optimal efficiency and reliability. Specifically engineered for Ingersoll Rand compressors, they provide superior filtration, protecting your equipment from contaminants and wear. Each Separator undergoes comprehensive quality control to deliver consistent and dependable performance. Benefit from competitive pricing, bulk order discounts, and prompt delivery for all your compressor spares.

What the 54749247 does in your Ingersoll Rand compressor

The air-oil separator sits between the air end and the point of use. Compressed air leaves the rotors carrying a fine oil mist; the separator's coalescing media collects those droplets and returns the oil to the sump while letting the air pass. When the separator ages, coalescing efficiency decays: residual oil carryover climbs, oil consumption rises, and downstream equipment — dryers, filters, valves, tools, and the product itself — starts to collect the oil the separator should have recovered.

The 54749247 is a scheduled-service consumable, not a repair item. Fitted as part of the Ingersoll Rand machine's standard maintenance, it keeps the Ingersoll Rand compressor inside its design operating band between services.

When to replace this element

• Typical OEM interval: 2000–4000 operating hours, or per the machine manual.

• Quality-sensitive plants (food, pharma, electronics) should align replacement with the air-quality audit calendar.

• If separator pressure drop climbs, replace early regardless of hours.

Signs it needs replacement

Replace on any of the above regardless of hour count. For this part, keeping a fresh element in stock before the interval arrives is the single cheapest insurance policy on the machine.

• Oil consumption rising between services with no other explanation.
• Oil film in the receiver drain, piping, or downstream filter elements.
• A rising differential pressure across the separator on the controller.
• The machine running hotter as the separator adds restriction to the discharge path.

Fitting and verification

• Confirm the element matches the OEM number, dimensions, and sealing arrangement of your old one.

• Check the scavenge/return line and orifice are clear — a blocked scavenge imitates a failing separator.

• Seat the element and torque the housing cover to spec; a poor seal defeats the new element.

• After fitting, verify oil carryover visually and the separator pressure drop reading on restart.
