11 33 22 Cooling Plate for Detroit Diesel Engines

What does a compressor cooling plate do?

The compressor cooling plate serves as a critical intermediate component situated between the cylinder block and the cylinder head of an air brake compressor. Its primary function is to transfer heat generated during the compression process into the vehicle's cooling circuit. By managing these thermal loads, the plate helps protect the service life of vital components such as piston rings, valve plates, and gaskets.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This cooling plate is compatible with various heavy commercial vehicle models, including Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado, and Columbia, as well as Western Star 5700XE and 4900 series. It is specifically designed for use with Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, and DD16 engines. Additionally, this part is also fitted to Mercedes-Benz trucks.

Installation and maintenance

During a compressor overhaul, technicians should inspect the plate's surface flatness and ensure all cooling channels are free from debris. Maintaining the integrity of this component is essential for preventing air or coolant leaks within the braking system. Proper installation ensures stable operation under heavy-duty service conditions.

Troubleshooting and selection

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine configuration.
