20824559 SP1 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FM13

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the air brake system, providing the necessary compressed air pressure required for reliable braking performance in heavy commercial vehicles. Built with high-strength components, it is specifically designed to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses encountered in demanding transport environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This unit is compatible with Volvo FM13 trucks equipped with D13C engines. It features a water-cooled design to manage operating temperatures effectively, an air unloader port (M16x1.5), and an air outlet port (M26x1.5). The assembly includes a water-cooled valve plate and an ESS feature to ensure consistent system pressure.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify that the drive gear, mounting flange, and all port locations—including the Ø35 air inlet—match the existing unit exactly. Given its 21.4 kg weight and specific water inlet/outlet ports (M16x1.5), ensuring correct coolant flow is vital for maintaining the integrity of the internal components during operation.
