1300 185 001 Volvo Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is an engine-driven unit designed to provide reliable compressed air for pneumatic brake systems. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it delivers a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring rapid reservoir filling for heavy commercial vehicles. This specific model features a 704cm³ swept volume and is designed for high-demand operating environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with several Volvo models including the FH12, FM12, FM9, and VHD, as well as Renault Trucks Magnum. It is specifically engineered to work with engines such as the D12C, D12D, D9B, and DXi12. This unit ensures seamless integration within the pneumatic architecture of these heavy-duty vehicles.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure correct mounting of the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5). Regular inspections of the air inlet port (Ø35) and unloader port (M12x1.5) are recommended to maintain optimal pressure levels and prevent system leaks.

System performance and maintenance

For optimal performance, ensure the water cooling circuit is free of obstructions and the ESS feature is functioning correctly within the system. Consult your authorized distributor.
