1300 100 002 Volvo Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, generating the necessary compressed air for brake operation. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit delivers superior air output compared to single-cylinder models, ensuring faster reservoir filling and consistent pressure for demanding braking tasks.

Compatible Volvo models and engines

This specific model is designed to be compatible with Volvo F10, F12, F7, N10, N12, B10M, and B12 trucks. It is engineered to work seamlessly with Volvo TD70, TD71, TD100, TD101, TD120, TD121, and TD122 engine configurations. The unit features a water-cooled design to maintain thermal stability during sustained heavy-duty operations.

Installation and technical specifications

Technicians should note the technical specifications during installation: the unit has an air inlet port of Ø35 and an air outlet port of M26x1.5. The water ports are sized at M16x1.5 for integration into the engine cooling circuit. Ensure all mounting interfaces and port locations match the removed unit exactly.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Maintaining regular checks on the cooling circuit and air lines is essential for preventing system pressure drops. If air output decreases or overheating occurs, inspect the water inlet and outlet ports for obstructions or leaks.
