20478151 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FE

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor provides critical air pressure for the pneumatic braking systems of heavy commercial vehicles. Built with high-strength components, it ensures consistent performance under demanding operating conditions. The unit features a through-drive design and is specifically optimized for efficient thermal management via its water-cooled architecture.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is designed for use in Volvo FE trucks fitted with D9B engines. The configuration includes an Ø35 air inlet port and an M26x1,5 air outlet port to ensure precise system integration. It is also compatible with the specific mounting requirements of the FE series to maintain original system integrity.

Installation and maintenance

Technicians should verify that the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) are free of debris during installation to maintain the cooling efficiency of the water-cooled valve plate. Regular checks of the air unloader port and mounting stability are recommended to prevent pressure fluctuations in the braking circuit.

System reliability

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment for your specific vehicle application.
