Ensure Peak Performance with Reliable Heavy-Duty Filtration
Maintaining air purity in your industrial workspace starts at the intake valve of your compressor. The air filter element with part number 88290010-031 (also commonly searched as 88290010031) is engineered specifically to protect the screw rotors of Sullair LS20S and LS20 industrial compressors. Unfiltered ambient air contains microscopic dust, pollen, and abrasive particles that can wear down key compressor internal components, leading to early unit breakdown.
Choosing an industrial-grade replacement ensures that your machinery continuously receives clean air. Our high-performance air intake filters provide a precise dimensional fit, preventing bypass leaks and minimizing pressure drop. When your equipment runs on a clean filter, it consumes less energy and delivers consistent pressure across demanding shifts.

✔Provide comprehensive support including both professional inspection advice and parts supply.
Frequently Asked Questions & Compressor Troubleshooting
What are the symptoms of a failed 88290010-031 air filter on a Sullair LS20S?
A clogged air filter element blocks incoming airflow, forcing the compressor screw element to work harder. Common signs include a high vacuum drop alarm (pressure drop), reduced air output volume, and elevated system temperatures. If you notice your compressor struggling to maintain pressure at the receiver tank, inspect the 88290010-031 element immediately for physical damage or dirt saturation.
How does replacing the 88290010-031 filter prevent oil carryover in the system?
If the intake filter is breached, abrasive dust particles bypass it and enter the oil system. These particles cut through the delicate fibers of your oil-gas separator element. Once the separator is damaged, oil starts leaking into the discharge line (oil carryover). Regularly installing a high-quality 88290010031 replacement protects your separator and ensures clean downstream air supply.
Can I clean the 88290010-031 intake filter with compressed air?
While tapping loose dust off is a temporary field measure, washing or using high-pressure air to clean paper filters is not recommended. It can open microscopic tears in the media, allowing dust bypass. To protect expensive LS20 compressor rotors, replace the element completely when the maintenance timer alerts or when differential pressure rises.
