1612335 Volvo Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it provides a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring that air reservoirs are replenished quickly to meet the high demand of heavy-duty braking cycles.

Compatibility and engine fitment

This specific unit is designed for Volvo N12 trucks equipped with TD120 engines. It features a water-cooled design with M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports to manage thermal loads during continuous operation. The assembly includes a water-cooled valve plate and an ESS feature to enhance system reliability under heavy loads.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify that the drive gear and mounting flange match the existing setup perfectly. This unit includes an M26x1,5 air inlet/outlet configuration and a 440cm³ swept volume. Regular inspection of the cooling lines and air intake system is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

System reliability

Maintaining the integrity of the air supply system is vital for braking safety. Ensure all connections are secure and that the cooling water flow is unobstructed to prevent overheating during prolonged operation.
