1800 020 001 Compatible Ford Trucks Air Compressor

What does an air compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor is a critical component for the pneumatic brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by compressing intake air and delivering it to the air processing unit to maintain necessary pressure for braking operations. This water-cooled unit is engineered with high-strength components to ensure reliable performance under demanding thermal conditions.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific compressor is designed for Ford Trucks models including the Cargo 1832, Cargo 2532, Cargo 3232, and Cargo 3532 equipped with Ecotorq 7.3 / 9.0 (Euro 5) engines. It is also compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and provides a reliable solution for maintaining optimal air pressure in the braking circuit.

Technical specifications and installation

Technicians should note the technical specifications: the unit features an Ø80.00 mm cylinder bore, a 45mm stroke, and a swept volume of 225cm³. Installation requires attention to the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports and the M26x1,5 air inlet port to ensure a leak-free connection within the cooling and pneumatic circuits.

Maintenance and inspection tips

Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and unloader ports is recommended to prevent system pressure fluctuations. Maintaining clean coolant flow through the M16x1,5 ports is essential for preventing overheating during continuous operation in heavy-duty service.
