IR 12 & 7 x 7 IHE 5 NL parts are the replacement components for the non-lubricated Ingersoll Rand IHE multi-cylinder compressor with 12 inch and 7 inch cylinders. Vikay supplies new aftermarket parts from India, including pistons, piston rods, metallic packing, distance pieces and the intercooler.
The figures in the designation are cylinder bores in inches, and this machine carries more than one: a 12 inch cylinder alongside 7 inch cylinders. NL marks the non-lubricated build.
The holding covers outer heads, piston assemblies, piston rods, metallic packing sets, oil stop plates, distance pieces, frame heads, the 7 inch cylinder, inlet and fau valve assemblies and the intercooler.
On a multi-cylinder machine, name the cylinder as well as the part when ordering. Components on this frame are identified by the stage they serve rather than by the machine as a whole, so "piston" alone is not enough to order against — the enquiry needs to say which cylinder it belongs to.
These are new aftermarket parts; the Ingersoll Rand name identifies fitment only.
- They are cylinder bore sizes in inches. This is a multi-cylinder machine carrying a 12 inch cylinder alongside 7 inch cylinders.
Why do you need to know which cylinder?
- Because components on this frame are identified by the stage they serve. A part named only as a piston or a valve cannot be ordered without knowing which cylinder it belongs to.
What does NL mean here?
- Non-lubricated: no oil reaches the cylinder, so ring and valve materials differ from a lubricated build.
