1590264 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo F7

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is an essential component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, specifically designed to provide consistent air pressure through two piston-cylinder assemblies. By utilizing a dual-cylinder configuration, this unit delivers higher air output compared to single-cylinder alternatives, ensuring faster reservoir filling and more responsive braking performance under heavy loads.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is designed for use in Volvo F7 vehicles equipped with TD71 engines. It features a water-cooled design to maintain thermal stability during sustained high-demand operation and is built with high-strength components for long-term durability in demanding environments. It is also fitted to other heavy commercial vehicles requiring high-output pneumatic support.

Installation and technical specifications

For technicians performing installation, this unit features a through drive configuration and includes a water-cooled valve plate. The air inlet and outlet ports are M26x1,5, while the water ports are M16x1,5. Given the precision required for mounting flanges and drive types, it is vital to compare the physical dimensions and port locations of the existing unit before replacement.

Selection and maintenance guidance

Always verify the drive type and cooling arrangement to ensure a perfect fit within the engine's cooling circuit and mechanical drive assembly.
