What does a compressor cylinder head do?

The compressor cylinder head is a vital component within the pneumatic air brake system, responsible for sealing the combustion or compression chamber to maintain consistent pressure. This specific cylinder head is engineered to withstand the high-pressure cycles required by heavy commercial vehicle air compressors, ensuring long-term reliability and stable air delivery for the braking system.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with Volvo FM series trucks, including models such as the FM 300, FM 340, FM 360, FM 370, FM 380, FM 390, FM 400, FM 410, FM 420, FM 430, FM 440, FM 450, FM 460, and the high-output FM 480. It is specifically intended for use in Volvo FM13 units equipped with D13C engines.

Maintenance and installation guidance

When performing maintenance or repairs on the compressor assembly, technicians should inspect the cylinder head for surface irregularities or signs of thermal stress. Ensuring a clean mounting surface is essential for maintaining the airtight integrity required by the pneumatic system during high-load operations.

Troubleshooting and selection
