1300 360 001 Air Compressor for Volvo and Renault Trucks

What does a twin cylinder 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 provides a higher air output and faster reservoir filling compared to single-cylinder designs, making it ideal for high-demand braking applications. Built with heavy-duty grade materials, this unit ensures long-term durability under intense thermal and mechanical stress.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is designed to be compatible with Volvo FH, FM, FMX, and VNL series, as well as Renault Trucks C, K, and T models. It is also fitted to Mack Anthem trucks with MP8 engines. The unit is engineered to meet the requirements of high-pressure pneumatic systems found in modern heavy-duty fleets.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, ensure the water inlet (M16x1,5) and outlet ports are properly connected to the vehicle's cooling circuit. This unit features a water-cooled valve plate and an ESS feature to maintain stable operating temperatures during continuous service. Regular inspections of the air inlet port (Ø35) and the M26x1,5 outlet port are recommended to prevent contamination.

Operational considerations

Maintaining proper cooling flow is essential to prevent overheating of the internal components. When replacing this compressor, verify that the mounting interface matches your current installation requirements to ensure seamless integration into the existing air brake architecture.
