1300 250 350 Volvo Compressor Cooling Plate

What does a compressor cooling plate do?

The compressor cooling plate is a critical component for managing thermal loads within the air brake compressor assembly. By facilitating efficient heat dissipation, this part prevents overheating of internal components such as piston rings and gaskets. Using high-strength components ensures the plate maintains structural integrity under the high-pressure conditions required for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This cooling plate is specifically designed for use in Volvo FH, FM, FMX, and VNL series trucks, including models equipped with D11K and D13K engines. It also provides fitment for Volvo B11R, B13R, and various Renault Trucks models like the T and C series. This part is also compatible with Mack Anthem engines and Volvo 9700/9900 models.

Installation and maintenance

During compressor overhauls, technicians should inspect the cooling plate for flatness and any signs of scale buildup in the channels. Proper installation involves ensuring a clean mating surface to prevent air leaks. Maintaining this component is essential for the long-term reliability of the pneumatic braking system.
