1628444 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor — DAF

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This water-cooled twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a dual-cylinder design, it delivers the high-capacity air generation required for sustained heavy-load operations and reliable braking performance. The unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and pressure cycles typical of long-haul transportation.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

Specifically designed for DAF XF95 trucks, this unit ensures consistent air pressure delivery to the entire pneumatic circuit. It is compatible with DAF systems and features an integrated ESS feature for optimized performance. The design incorporates a water-cooled valve plate to maintain stable operating temperatures during intensive use.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation and maintenance should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure proper alignment of the through-drive and correct torque on the M26x1,5 air ports. It is essential to verify that the water inlet and outlet ports (M14x1,5) are correctly integrated into the engine cooling circuit to prevent overheating. Regular checks of the air unloader port (M12x1,5) are recommended to ensure efficient system depressurization.

Troubleshooting and maintenance

Monitoring air delivery rates can help identify early signs of wear in the valve plate or seals. Maintaining clean coolant and air filtration helps extend the service life of this high-capacity component.
