1500 080 001 Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a piston-type mechanism, it compresses intake air to provide the necessary pressure for the air processing unit and storage tanks. This water-cooled design ensures stable thermal management during continuous operation, maintaining high efficiency under heavy-duty service conditions.

Compatibility and technical specifications

This specific model is compatible with Iveco vehicles and meets the requirements for high-pressure air delivery. The assembly features an M26x1.5 air inlet port and an M22x1.5 air outlet port, alongside M16x1.5 water ports to facilitate efficient cooling. It is engineered to match the performance standards required by Knorr-Bremse systems.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper maintenance, technicians should regularly inspect the water inlet and outlet connections to prevent leaks. Given the Ø92.00 bore and 54mm stroke specifications, ensuring correct lubrication and cooling flow is essential to prevent overheating. Regular checks of the through-drive mechanism will help maintain long-term reliability in the vehicle's braking circuit.

Troubleshooting and system performance

When troubleshooting air pressure drops, inspect the compressor's ability to maintain steady output through its 360cm³ swept volume capacity. If performance declines, verifying the integrity of the water-cooled valve plate and port seals is recommended to ensure system stability.
