1100 255 350 Cooling Plate for Mercedes-Benz Trucks

What does a compressor cooling plate do?

The compressor cooling plate serves as the critical intermediate component situated between the cylinder block and the cylinder head within an air brake compressor. Its primary function is to manage the thermal energy generated during the compression process by transferring heat into the cooling circuit. This component is vital for maintaining optimal operating temperatures and protecting the integrity of the valve plate and piston rings.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific cooling plate is designed for compatibility with various Mercedes-Benz models, including the Citaro, Tourismo, and Axor 2 series, as well as Setra 400 series vehicles. It is specifically suited for applications utilizing OM 457 HLA, OM 457 LA, and OM 457 hLA engines. This ensures precise fitment across diverse bus and truck configurations within these vehicle classes.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance or repair, technicians should verify the cooling type and cylinder count to ensure a correct match with the existing compressor assembly. Proper installation requires ensuring that the sealing surfaces are free of debris to prevent leaks between air, water, or oil channels. Maintaining correct bolt torque according to service manuals is essential to prevent plate warping.
