1500 180 001 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor for Iveco

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is an engine-driven component designed to provide high-volume compressed air for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit delivers a higher air output compared to single-cylinder models, ensuring faster reservoir replenishment during heavy braking cycles.

Vehicle and system compatibility

This specific model is engineered for compatibility with Iveco vehicles and is suitable for use in demanding heavy-duty applications. It functions effectively within Knorr-Bremse systems to maintain consistent pneumatic pressure throughout the air brake circuit.

Technical specifications and installation

Designed with a water-cooled configuration, this unit features an Ø86.00 mm cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke. The assembly includes M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, along with M18x1,5 water ports, providing a robust interface for professional installation. The through-drive design ensures stable mechanical synchronization with the engine.

Maintenance and system integration

To ensure optimal performance, technicians should verify that the mounting interface and port sizes match the existing installation. Regular inspection of the water cooling lines and air connections is recommended to prevent pressure drops in the system.
