20850846 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FH16

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is a critical component for the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Designed to handle high-pressure demands, it ensures a consistent air supply to the braking and suspension systems. The unit is engineered with heavy-duty grade materials to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy-duty engine environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is designed for Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16C engines. It provides seamless integration with the vehicle's air management system, ensuring optimal performance during long-haul operations. The design focuses on maintaining stable pressure levels to support critical safety functions.

Technical specifications and installation

The assembly features a water-cooled design with an M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet port to manage operating temperatures effectively. Technical specifications include an 85.00 mm cylinder bore, a 62 mm stroke, and a swept volume of 704cm³. For installation, technicians should verify the M26x1,5 air outlet port and the M16x1,5 unloader port connections to ensure a leak-free fitment.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Regular inspection of the unloader port and cooling lines is recommended to prevent system failures. Maintaining proper coolant flow through the water-cooled valve plate is essential for extending the service life of the compressor.
