20382348 Compatible Volvo FH12 Air Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder compressor serves as a vital component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Engineered for high-duty cycles, it utilizes water cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating during continuous use. The design ensures stable air pressure delivery to support the braking and suspension systems of the vehicle.

Vehicle compatibility and fitment

This specific unit is compatible with Volvo FH12 models, including variants such as the FH 12/340, FH 12/380, FH 12/420, FH 12/460, and FH 12/500. It is built to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty transport environments where reliability is essential for safety.

Installation and maintenance

Installation requires attention to the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) and the air unloader port (M12x1,5). Technicians should verify the through drive connection and ensure all connections are secure to maintain system integrity. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate is recommended to extend service life.

Troubleshooting guidance

When replacing this component, ensure the existing cooling lines are clear of debris to allow efficient heat dissipation through the Ø85.00 mm bore assembly.
