1100 080 003 Water Cooled Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By compressing intake air and delivering it to the air processing unit, this piston-type unit ensures the necessary pressure is maintained for reliable braking performance. The robust construction is designed to withstand demanding operating conditions in various heavy-duty applications.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This water-cooled unit is specifically engineered for high-duty cycles where heat management is vital for component longevity. It features a through drive design and is compatible with diverse heavy commercial vehicle configurations, including buses and distribution trucks. The design ensures efficient air delivery through the M26x1.5 inlet and outlet ports.

Installation and maintenance

For professional technicians, maintaining correct coolant levels in the M14x1.5 water ports is essential to prevent overheating. Regular inspection of the valve plate and piston assembly ensures consistent air output. When performing installation, ensure all connections are tightened to prevent pressure drops in the pneumatic circuit.

Troubleshooting and performance

Proper selection of this compressor helps maintain stable pressure within the air tanks, preventing sudden drops in braking force. Check for leaks around the cylinder housing and ensure the water-cooled mechanism is functioning correctly to avoid premature wear of internal components.
