1300 010 350 Volvo Compatible Compressor Cooling Plate

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 in an air brake compressor. Its primary role is to transfer the intense heat generated during the compression process into the cooling circuit. By managing these thermal loads, the plate helps protect the valve plate, piston rings, and gaskets from premature wear.

Compatible Volvo and Renault Trucks models

This component is engineered for wide-ranging compatibility across several heavy commercial vehicle models. It is specifically fitted to Volvo FM12, FH12, FL12, and NH12 series, as well as Volvo VNL and VHD trucks. Additionally, it is compatible with Renault Trucks Magnum models using DXi12 engines and various Volvo construction machinery like the A40D. This part ensures reliable performance in diverse environments.

Installation and maintenance guidance

During maintenance or compressor overhauls, it is essential to verify the cooling type and bolt hole pattern to ensure a precise fit. Technicians should inspect the plate's flatness and channel integrity to prevent air or coolant leaks. Maintaining a clean cooling circuit around this plate helps extend the service life of the entire air brake system.

Selection and troubleshooting

Selecting a high-strength component is vital for maintaining consistent air pressure in heavy-duty applications. For optimal performance in Volvo or Renault Trucks systems, always ensure the cooling type matches the original equipment specifications. Check the compatibility list.
