1600 080 350 Cooling Plate for PACCAR MX13 Engines

What does a compressor cooling plate do?

This compressor cooling plate plays a decisive role in managing the thermal load within an air brake compressor. By facilitating efficient heat transfer, it protects critical components such as valve plates and piston rings from overheating. Using high-strength components ensures the plate can withstand the high pressure and vibration loads typical of heavy commercial vehicle operations.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This part is specifically designed for PACCAR MX13 engines found in a wide range of heavy-duty vehicles. It is fitted to Kenworth models including the T800, W990, T880, T680, and T660, as well as Peterbilt models such as the 579, 567, 367, 389, 589, 384, 388, 587, 365, and 386. Additionally, it is compatible with DAF XF106 and CF trucks equipped with PACCAR MX-13 engines.

Installation and maintenance

When performing a compressor overhaul, the cooling plate should be inspected for surface flatness and channel cleanliness. Even minor warping can lead to air or coolant leaks regardless of the gasket quality. Technicians should verify the bolt hole pattern and channel cross-section against the existing unit to ensure a precise fit during installation.

Selection guidance

Proper maintenance of the cooling system within the compressor helps prevent premature failure of the entire pneumatic system. Always consult your authorized distributor to ensure you are selecting the correct variant for your specific engine configuration.
