1600 170 002 PACCAR Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor functions as a critical component in 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 unit is engineered with high-strength components to maintain consistent performance under demanding thermal conditions.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This compressor is specifically compatible with PACCAR MX11, MX-13, and MX-11 engines. It is widely used in Kenworth T680, T800, T880, and W900S models, as well as Peterbilt 567 and 579 trucks. It serves as a reliable replacement for systems requiring precise air delivery within these heavy-duty engine configurations.

Installation and maintenance

For optimal performance, ensure the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) are correctly integrated into the engine cooling circuit. The unit features an air unloader port (M14x1,5) and is designed for through-drive applications to ensure efficient energy transfer from the engine. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate is recommended to maintain system integrity.

System performance and troubleshooting

Maintaining proper lubrication and cooling flow helps prevent overheating during long-haul operations. If air pressure buildup is slow or inconsistent, technicians should inspect the compressor's connection to the engine's cooling system to ensure steady thermal management.
