Description
A compressor cylinder head is the cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above.
This component is essential for workshop technicians looking to rebuild an existing compressor unit rather than replacing the entire assembly. By providing the necessary seats for inlet and discharge valves, as well as internal air passages, this part directly governs both the air output and the running temperature of the system.
Depending on the specific compressor architecture, these heads may vary between single-cylinder or twin-cylinder configurations. They are also available in air-cooled designs with external fins or water-cooled versions featuring jacket channels to maintain stable temperatures under high load. Some variants include unloader ports for governor signal reception.
When selecting a replacement, it is vital to match the specific architecture of the existing unit. Because different engine options can change compressor requirements, technicians should always verify compatibility with the existing compressor's technical configuration to ensure proper sealing and pressure performance.

FAQ
What is the function of a compressor cylinder head?
It acts as a cover that seals the compression chamber from above, housing the inlet and discharge valve seats and internal air passages.
Can I rebuild a compressor using just the cylinder head?
Yes, this component allows a workshop technician to rebuild an existing compressor in place instead of replacing the entire unit.
What are the different types of cylinder heads available?
They vary by architecture, including single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, air-cooled, and water-cooled configurations.
How do I ensure I select the correct head for my compressor?
Selection should be based on the specific compressor architecture and its technical configuration to ensure correct sealing and output.
