Built with high-strength components, it ensures reliable air delivery under demanding duty cycles. The unit is specifically designed for water-cooled configurations to maintain optimal thermal stability during continuous operation.

This compressor is compatible with Volvo FH models including the 400, 420, 440, 460, 480, 500, 520, and 540 variants. It is specifically engineered for use in Volvo FH16 vehicles equipped with the D16E engine. This component ensures seamless integration within the vehicle's pneumatic architecture.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Technicians should verify that the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) and the air unloader port (M16x1,5) match the existing installation requirements. Given the Ø85.00mm bore and 704cm³ swept volume, ensure all connections are tightened to specification to prevent pressure drops. Consult your authorized distributor to confirm exact fitment.

Replacement and selection

When replacing a compressor, it is vital to check the drive gear and cooling lines to ensure they match the existing system configuration.
