1300 240 001 Air Compressor for Volvo and Renault Trucks

What does a twin cylinder air compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor is an engine-driven component essential for the pneumatic brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it provides superior air output and faster reservoir filling compared to single-cylinder units. This specific model is designed for high-pressure stability in demanding environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This unit is compatible with several heavy commercial vehicles, including Volvo FH13, FH16, FM11, FM13, FMX, VHD, VNL, B11R, B13R, and various TAD1341-1345VE engines. It is also fitted to Mack Granite (MP7), Mack Pinnacle (MP8), and Renault Trucks models such as Kerax (DXi11), Magnum (DXi13), and Premium (DXi11/DXi13).

Technical specifications and cooling

The assembly features a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads effectively during operation. Technical specifications include an Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore, 56 mm stroke, and an M26x1,5 air outlet port. The unit includes an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to ensure long-term reliability under continuous service.

Installation and maintenance guidance

To maintain optimal performance, technicians should regularly inspect the water inlet (M16x1,5) and outlet ports for leaks or debris. Ensure the air unloader port (M12x1,5) is functioning correctly to prevent system overpressure. Check the through drive connection during installation to ensure perfect alignment with the engine crankshaft.
