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. It functions as the top cover, housing the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, internal air passages, and essential cooling cavities. This component is vital for governing both the air output and the running temperature of the compressor unit.
These parts are designed to allow workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire assembly. Depending on the specific compressor architecture, heads may be single-cylinder or twin-cylinder types. They are also available in air-cooled configurations with external fins or water-cooled designs featuring jacket channels for sustained high loads.
When performing maintenance, technicians should verify if the required part includes an unloader port for governor signal reception or if it is supplied as a complete kit with a valve plate and gasket. Proper seating of the head is essential to prevent pressure leaks and ensure long-term reliability under heavy commercial vehicle operating conditions.
Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment based on the specific compressor architecture and engine requirements.
