1300 025 350 Cooling Plate for Volvo Compressors

What does a compressor cooling plate do?

A compressor cooling plate is the intermediate component situated between the cylinder block and the cylinder head of an air brake compressor. It serves to transfer the heat generated during the compression process into the vehicle's cooling circuit, preventing overheating within the pneumatic system.

Compatible Volvo and Renault Trucks models

This part is compatible with several Volvo models, including the FM (FM 330 to FM 500), FH (400 to 540), and VNL series. It is also fitted to Renault Trucks Magnum models and various Volvo engine configurations such as the D12 and D16 series. These components ensure reliable operation in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Installation and maintenance guidance

To ensure correct fitment, technicians should verify the cooling type and cylinder count of the existing unit. During a compressor overhaul, it is recommended to inspect the plate's flatness and seal surfaces. Maintaining these high-strength components helps protect the valve plate, piston rings, and gaskets from premature wear caused by excessive thermal stress.

Troubleshooting and selection

Proper selection of this component is vital for maintaining the integrity of the air brake system. For optimal service life, always cross-reference the mounting patterns and channel configurations with the existing compressor assembly.
