0R1624 Caterpillar Compatible C18 Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor is a piston-type component designed to provide the necessary compressed air for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. It functions by drawing in air and compressing it for delivery to the air processing unit, playing a critical role in maintaining consistent brake pressure.

Engine compatibility and fitment

This unit is specifically compatible with Caterpillar engines, including the C7, C9, C11, C13, C15, and C18 series. It is built with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy-duty engine environments.

Technical specifications and cooling

Technical specifications include a 92.00 mm cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke, providing a swept volume of 360cm³. This model features water cooling (W) via 3/4’’-16 UNF ports and includes an ESS feature for enhanced system reliability. The through drive configuration ensures efficient power transfer from the engine.

Maintenance and inspection tips

To ensure optimal performance, technicians should inspect the water inlet and outlet ports for any signs of scaling or leaks. Regular monitoring of the air unloader port and valve plate integrity is recommended to prevent pressure drops in the pneumatic circuit.
