1200 012 001 MAN Compressor Compatible

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a vital component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by compressing intake air and delivering it to the air processing unit to ensure consistent pressure for the braking system. This water-cooled unit is engineered with high-strength components to maintain performance under sustained high-load operations.

Compatible MAN vehicles and engines

This compressor is compatible with MAN TGS I, TGA, TGX I, HOCL, SL II, NG, NL, Lion's City, Lion's Regio, and Lion's Coach models. It is specifically designed to work with D2066 and D2676 engines to ensure reliable air delivery across various vehicle configurations.

Installation and maintenance

For optimal performance, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) and the air ports (M26x1.5) during installation. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and drive mechanism is recommended to prevent pressure drops in the air brake circuit.

System performance

Ensuring proper lubrication and cooling integration helps maintain the 360cm³ swept volume efficiency over extended service intervals.
