1700 020 001 Compressor Twin Cylinder — Renault Trucks

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, generating compressed air through two piston-cylinder assemblies. By utilizing two compression strokes per crankshaft revolution, it provides a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring rapid reservoir filling. This specific model features a water-cooled design with integrated ESS functionality and a water-cooled valve plate to manage thermal loads effectively.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This unit is specifically engineered for Renault Trucks Premium series, including models such as Distribution and Route variants equipped with DCI 6 engines. It is also compatible with WABCO systems, ensuring reliable performance in demanding heavy commercial vehicle applications. The design includes M26x1.5 air inlet and outlet ports, alongside M14x1.5 water ports to facilitate seamless integration into existing pneumatic circuits.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet port connections during installation to prevent leaks. Given the 20.9 KG weight and specific M12x1.5 unloader port, ensuring correct mounting torque and cooling line integrity is essential for maintaining consistent pressure levels in the braking system. Consult your authorized distributor for more information.
