1600 165 001 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor for DAF

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it generates the high-volume compressed air required for rapid system pressurization and reliable braking performance. This unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous operating conditions found in heavy-duty transport applications.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

The compressor is specifically compatible with DAF XF II, CF, XF, XG, and XG+ models, covering various engine configurations such as the MX-11 and MX-13 series. It is also suitable for PACCAR MX-13 engines. This water-cooled unit ensures optimal thermal management during continuous operation, making it a reliable choice for multi-axle tractor units and heavy trucks.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation and maintenance should focus on ensuring the water inlet (M16x1,5) and outlet (M16x1,5) connections are secure to maintain cooling efficiency. Regular checks of the air unloader port (M14x1,5) and the air inlet port (Ø25) are recommended to prevent contamination or pressure drops within the pneumatic circuit. Consult your authorized distributor for further information.

Troubleshooting and selection

For optimal system longevity, technicians should verify that the water cooling flow is unobstructed and that the valve plate remains free of debris. This EURO6 compliant unit is designed to meet stringent emission standards while maintaining high volumetric efficiency through its Ø100 / Ø75 cylinder bore configuration.
