Description

Ingersoll Rand Thermal Element Replacement - 35318708

Maintain proper compressor oil temperature and dependable lubrication system performance with the Ingersoll Rand Thermal Element Replacement - 35318708, a thermostatic element designed for compatible Ingersoll Rand oil temperature bypass valve assemblies. This element responds to changes in lubricant temperature and helps control oil flow through the bypass valve so the compressor can reach and maintain its intended operating temperature. Replacing a worn or malfunctioning thermal element can help correct improper oil temperature regulation, support consistent lubrication, and protect critical compressor components during operation.

  • Controls Oil Temperature: Responds to lubricant temperature changes to help regulate oil flow through the compressor’s oil temperature bypass valve assembly.
  • Supports Proper Lubrication: Helps the compressor maintain an appropriate operating temperature so lubricant can circulate effectively and protect internal components.
  • Oil Temperature Bypass Valve Component: Identified as an OTBV thermal element and used in compatible Ingersoll Rand compressor assemblies.
  • OEM Compatible Replacement: Built as a replacement for Ingersoll Rand part number 35318708 to support proper valve function, temperature regulation, and compressor reliability.

Help maintain stable lubricant temperature and dependable oil system operation with the Ingersoll Rand Thermal Element Replacement - 35318708, a reliable replacement thermal element for compatible Ingersoll Rand compressor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 35318708 thermal element compatible with my Ingersoll Rand compressor?

The 35318708 is an Ingersoll Rand thermal element for compatible portable compressor oil-temperature control applications. Parts references identify 35318708 as an OTBV thermal element with a 185°F to 200°F operating range for compatible Ingersoll Rand portable compressor applications. Compatibility should always be confirmed by matching 35318708 in your compressor manual and verifying the model, serial number, thermal valve body, oil circuit location, opening temperature, seal requirements, and compressor configuration before ordering. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility. 

What does the 35318708 thermal element do?

The 35318708 helps regulate compressor oil temperature by working inside the thermal valve assembly. Depending on the compressor configuration, it helps:

  • Direct oil flow based on temperature
  • Support proper oil warm-up
  • Route oil through the cooler when needed
  • Help maintain stable operating temperature
  • Protect the compressor from temperature-related performance issues

Why is replacing the 35318708 important?

A properly functioning 35318708 helps maintain:

  • Stable compressor oil temperature
  • Proper oil flow through the cooler circuit
  • Better lubrication performance
  • Reduced risk of overheating
  • More reliable portable compressor operation

A stuck, worn, contaminated, or failed thermal element can cause the compressor to run too hot, run too cool, bypass the cooler incorrectly, or create temperature-related shutdowns.

What are the signs that the 35318708 thermal element may need replacement?

Common signs can include:

  • Compressor running hotter than normal
  • High-temperature shutdowns
  • Oil temperature staying too low during operation
  • Slow warm-up in normal conditions
  • Oil cooler not receiving flow when the compressor is hot
  • Oil bypassing the cooler incorrectly
  • Temperature swings during operation
  • Thermal element stuck open or closed during inspection

These symptoms can also be caused by dirty coolers, low oil level, incorrect lubricant, blocked oil lines, fan issues, separator restriction, or a faulty temperature sensor or switch. Inspect the full cooling and oil system before replacing only the 35318708.

Is this an OEM part?

This is an OEM-equivalent replacement thermal element designed to meet the same performance standards as the original Ingersoll Rand element.  

How difficult is it to install?

Installing the 35318708 is generally a moderate maintenance task because it involves the compressor’s oil circuit and temperature-control valve.

Before service, the compressor should be:

  • Fully shut down
  • Secured so the engine cannot start
  • Completely depressurized
  • Cooled to a safe working temperature
  • Positioned to contain any oil released during service
  • Verified so no stored pressure remains in the oil circuit or separator vessel
  • Documented so the thermal valve components can be reassembled correctly

Installation typically involves accessing the thermal valve assembly, removing the old thermal element, cleaning the valve body, replacing required seals if applicable, installing the replacement 35318708, and checking for leaks, oil temperature stability, and normal compressor operation after startup.

Do you carry other parts for Ingersoll Rand?

Absolutely. We stock a range of air filters, oil filters, synthetic oils, and many other maintenance parts for Ingersoll Rand equipment. If you don’t see what you need, just ask and we’ll help you find it.  

How do I know which oil to use in my Ingersoll Rand compressor?

Stationary rotary screw compressors may have specific oil requirements that differ from reciprocating or portable units. To make sure you’re using the right lubricant for your machine, check out our full guide here: Choosing the Right Oil for your Ingersoll Rand Compressor. It covers the recommended options for rotary screw compressors and helps you match your compressor with the proper oil.
