1300 090 003 Volvo Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary air volume to meet high-demand braking requirements. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit delivers rapid pressure buildup and consistent air output for safety-critical applications. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy-duty operating environments.

Compatible Volvo vehicles and engines

This water-cooled unit is specifically designed to fit Volvo F16 (TD162), Volvo FH16 (D16A, D16B), and various Volvo construction and engine models including L330C/D/E, TAD1630, and TAMD162 with D16 engines. It is an OE-equivalent solution compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems, ensuring precise integration within the vehicle's existing pneumatic architecture.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal service life, technicians should verify that the water inlet (M16x1,5) and outlet ports are free of debris during installation. Given the Ø29 air inlet and M26x1,5 outlet specifications, ensuring all connections are tightened to specification is vital. Regular inspection of the cooling lines and air unloader port (M22x1,5) helps prevent system pressure fluctuations.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Maintenance of the air dryer and intake filtration is essential to protect the internal valve plates and cylinders from contamination. When replacing a failed unit, always ensure the drive type and mounting interface match the original equipment specifications to avoid system mismatch.
