This is an OEM part manufactured by Ingersoll Rand. Sometimes this part may appear in your parts book as 22388045. If your old filter says part number 22388045, purchasing this separator 24121212 is correct for your compressor.
Ingersoll Rand recommends replacing the separator element every 2,000 hours or at least once a year, depending on the operating hours and operating schedule of your compressors. The separator filter removes oil from the air stream before the air is sent downstream. Proactively changing the separator element will reduce the pressure drop in the sump tank, increasing your energy efficiency and preventing oil from entering your air dryer or production equipment.
When changing the separator element, it is also recommended to change the compressor oil, oil filter and air filter element.
