1300 185 350 Volvo Compressor Cooling Plate

What does a compressor cooling plate do?

This compressor cooling plate serves as a critical thermal management component within the air brake compressor assembly. By managing compression heat through internal channels, it protects the integrity of the valve plate, piston rings, and gaskets. Utilizing high-strength components ensures durability during continuous high-speed operation in heavy commercial vehicles.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This part is compatible with several Volvo models including the FE, FH12, FH16, FM9, FM12, NH12, VNL, VHD, B9L, B9R, and B9TL series. It is also designed for use in Renault Trucks Magnum applications. These components are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty engine configurations such as the D9B, D12C, D12D, D16C, D9A, DXi12, D12, and D10A engines. It is also compatible with WABCO systems.

Installation and maintenance

For successful installation and maintenance, technicians should verify the cooling type and cylinder count to ensure a perfect match with the existing compressor housing. When performing an overhaul, it is recommended to inspect the plate's flatness and ensure all mounting surfaces are clean to prevent leaks or pressure drops in the pneumatic circuit. Consult your authorized distributor.

Troubleshooting and selection

Proper thermal regulation prevents premature wear of internal compressor components. Selecting a plate that matches the original specifications ensures long-term reliability of the air brake system.
