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 essential component is designed to let a workshop technician rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the whole unit. Inside the head are the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, the internal air passages, and the cooling cavities, which directly govern both the compressor's air output and its running temperature.
Selection of the correct cylinder head depends on the specific compressor architecture. Depending on the engine requirement, these components may be single-cylinder or twin-cylinder types, and may feature either air-cooled fins or water-cooled jacket channels to manage heat during operation.
When performing maintenance, ensure the cylinder head is inspected for any signs of wear around the valve seats or cooling passages. Proper installation ensures stable air pressure and prevents leaks within the pneumatic system. Consult your authorized distributor.

FAQ
What is the function of a compressor cylinder head?
It sits on top of the cylinder block to seal the compression chamber and houses the inlet and discharge valve seats.
Can I rebuild a compressor using just the cylinder head?
Yes, replacing the cylinder head allows technicians to rebuild a unit in place rather than replacing the entire assembly.
How do I know which cylinder head fits my compressor?
Selection must be based on the specific compressor architecture and its unique reference number to ensure correct fitment.
What are common signs of a failing cylinder head?
Issues with air output or abnormal running temperatures can indicate problems with the internal air passages or cooling cavities.
