1700 070 001 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

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, this unit provides a higher air output compared to single-cylinder alternatives, ensuring rapid reservoir replenishment. The high-strength components are engineered to withstand rigorous operating conditions while maintaining consistent pressure delivery.

Vehicle compatibility and design

This specific model is compatible with Renault Trucks and is designed to meet the demanding requirements of heavy-duty applications. It features a water-cooled design with an M18x1,5 inlet and outlet port to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation. The unit includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to optimize efficiency.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the M26x1,5 air inlet and M22x1,5 air outlet ports match the existing lines. The through drive configuration and specific port sizes like the M10x1 unloader port must be checked against the current installation to ensure a seamless fitment during maintenance or replacement cycles.

System reliability

Regular inspection of the water cooling lines and air ports is recommended to prevent leaks or pressure drops in the braking system.
