1400 090 005 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor for Scania

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor functions as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it ensures a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, facilitating faster reservoir replenishment. This specific model is engineered with high-strength components to withstand rigorous operating conditions in heavy-duty applications.

Vehicle compatibility and technical specs

This unit is specifically compatible with Scania vehicles and meets the requirements for high-air-demand systems. It features a water-cooled design to maintain optimal thermal stability during operation, including a water-cooled valve plate for enhanced durability. The configuration includes an M26x1.5 air inlet port, an M22x1.5 air outlet port, and an M10x1 air unloader port.

Installation and maintenance

For professional installation, technicians should ensure all water ports (M18x1.5) are correctly sealed to prevent leaks in the cooling circuit. This compressor is equipped with an ESS feature and through-drive capability to ensure seamless integration with the engine crankshaft. Regular inspection of the unloader port and cooling lines is recommended to maintain peak pneumatic performance.
