Is the 32498149 aftercooler compatible with my Ingersoll Rand compressor?
The 32498149 aftercooler is designed for Ingersoll Rand Type-30 reciprocating compressors, specifically models built around the 2475 pump (5HP units). If your compressor’s parts manual lists part number 32498149, this replacement aftercooler is the correct fit. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility.
What does the 32498149 aftercooler do?
The aftercooler cools compressed air as it leaves the pump before it enters the tank. This cooling process helps remove moisture from the air and reduces the temperature of the compressed air, improving overall system efficiency and air quality.
Is this an OEM part?
This is an OEM-equivalent replacement aftercooler designed to match the fit and function of the original Ingersoll Rand component while offering a cost-effective alternative to name-brand parts.
How often should I replace the 32498149 aftercooler?
Aftercoolers do not have a fixed replacement interval like filters or oil. They should be inspected during routine maintenance and replaced if you notice reduced cooling performance, corrosion, leaks, or physical damage.
Why is the aftercooler important for compressor operation?
Aftercoolers play a key role in reducing the temperature of compressed air and removing moisture before it reaches the tank. This helps protect downstream equipment, reduces condensation in the system, and supports overall compressor efficiency.
How difficult is it to install?
Installation typically involves mounting the aftercooler assembly and reconnecting the associated tubing or lines. This is generally a straightforward process for someone familiar with reciprocating compressor maintenance. Always shut down, disconnect power, and depressurize the compressor before performing maintenance.
