Coalescing filter for compressed air systems
This Ingersoll-Rand 24241853 element removes oil and water aerosols down to 0.01 micron using Microglass media. It fits FA series housings and replaces part number 24233306. The filter is intended for maintenance teams keeping pneumatic lines clean in industrial and automotive workshops. It is not for buyers who need a particulate-only element or a different micron rating.
Pressure drop and service life
Coalescing media captures fine mist that standard screens miss, so the element loads gradually as it traps oil and water. Normal operation shows a steady pressure differential until the cartridge is saturated. The filter does not indicate remaining life electronically, so technicians must follow a timed or pressure-drop schedule. It is not for installations that require a visual or electronic service indicator.
Direct replacement for FA series
The cartridge installs without tools into the existing FA housing, restoring the original filtration rating instantly. No additional brackets, seals or software are supplied or required. The changeover simply swaps the used element for this new one. It is not for users who need a complete filter assembly or an upgrade kit with new head and bowl.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 24241853 filter element and what step is often missed?
Shut off and depressurise the system, remove the old element, lubricate the new element's seals, insert it into the FA series housing, and tighten to the specified torque; the step most often missed is lubricating the seals before installation.
What maintenance or replacement will the Microglass coalescing element need later?
The 0.01 micron Microglass element must be replaced when the pressure drop across it reaches the limit set by the compressor manufacturer; no cleaning or regeneration is possible for this coalescing media.
What limit appears first during sustained use of this 0.01 micron filter?
The pressure differential across the Microglass coalescing element rises as it captures oil and water aerosols; when the differential reaches the system's change-out threshold, flow capacity is effectively limited.
