1300 235 002 Volvo Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder air compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the pneumatic air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it generates the high-pressure compressed air required for reliable braking performance and system actuation. This specific unit is designed with water-cooled technology to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation.

Vehicle compatibility and engine fitment

This compressor is compatible with Volvo trucks including FH, FM, FMX, and VNL models, as well as Renault Trucks C, K, and T series. It is also fitted to Mack Anthem vehicles and various Volvo bus configurations like B11R and B13R. These units are engineered to work seamlessly with Volvo and WABCO systems to maintain stable pneumatic pressure.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) and ensure the through drive mechanism aligns with the engine mounting. Regular inspection of the air inlet port (Ø35) and the water-cooled valve plate is recommended to maintain optimal swept volume performance of 636m³ and prevent system leaks.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to confirm exact fitment for your specific engine model.
