1300 290 001 Volvo compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a vital engine-driven component within the pneumatic air 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 alternatives. This specific unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand rigorous duty cycles in demanding environments.

Compatible vehicles and engines

The unit is designed for compatibility with various heavy commercial vehicle models, including Volvo FH (FH4/FH5), FM, FMX, VNL, and B11R/B13R series, as well as Renault Trucks C, K, and T models. It is specifically suited for engines such as the Volvo D13K, D11K, D16K, and Renault DTI11/DTI13 series. This compressor also fits Mack Anthem vehicles equipped with MP8 engines.

Installation and maintenance

Installation and maintenance should focus on the water-cooling system and port integrity. This model features an M32x1.5 air inlet port, an M26x1.5 air outlet port, and M16x1.5 water inlet/outlet ports. Technicians should regularly inspect the water-cooled valve plate and unloader ports to ensure optimal pneumatic performance and prevent pressure drops.

System compatibility

For optimal system longevity, ensure all mounting interfaces align with the original equipment specifications. This compressor is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems.
