1300 230 001 Volvo and Renault Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This water-cooled twin cylinder air compressor is a vital engine-driven component designed to provide consistent compressed air pressure for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit ensures high air output and rapid reservoir replenishment to maintain optimal pneumatic performance under heavy loads.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

The assembly is compatible with various heavy-duty models including Volvo FH (FH4/FH5), FM, FMX, VNL, B11R, B13R, and Renault Trucks C, K, and T series. It is specifically engineered to work with engines such as Volvo D13K, D11K, D16K, D13, and Renault DTI13 or DTI11. This unit also fits Mack Anthem with MP8 engines.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, ensure the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) are properly connected to the vehicle cooling circuit to prevent overheating. The unit features an M26x1,5 air outlet port and a M16x1,5 unloader port. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and intake connections is recommended to ensure long-term reliability.

System performance and reliability

Maintaining stable air pressure is critical for the safety of heavy commercial vehicles. This compressor provides a robust solution for technicians looking for high-strength components that meet demanding service requirements in the field.
