1300 230 002 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it provides superior air output and faster reservoir filling compared to single-cylinder alternatives. This specific model features a water-cooling configuration to manage thermal loads during continuous operation, ensuring reliable performance in high-demand environments.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This component is compatible with various heavy-duty applications, including Volvo FH, FM, FMX, and VNL models, as well as Renault Trucks T, K, and C series. It is also fitted to Mack Anthem trucks and specific Volvo bus models like the B11R and B13R. These units are engineered to support high-pressure requirements for tractor units and heavy construction machinery.

Technical specifications and installation

The assembly is designed with technical precision, featuring an Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore and a 56 mm stroke to achieve a swept volume of 636cm³. Installation should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure correct alignment of the through drive and proper connection of the M26x1,5 air outlet port and M16x1,5 water ports.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Regular maintenance of the cooling lines and intake ports is essential to prevent system pressure drops or overheating. For optimal longevity, check all connections including the M16x1,5 unloader port during routine service intervals. Check the compatibility list.
