21353433 Compatible Volvo FH16 D16C Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor plays a vital role in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles by providing consistent air pressure. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses encountered during continuous operation in heavy-duty applications.

Compatible Volvo FH and FH16 models

This specific model is compatible with Volvo FH series trucks, including models 400, 420, 440, 460, 480, 500, 520, and 540. It is also specifically fitted to Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with the D16C engine. The unit features a water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures and includes an ESS feature for enhanced system reliability.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For installation and maintenance, technicians should verify the M26x1.5 air outlet port and M12x1.5 unloader port integrity. Given the water-cooled nature of this compressor, ensuring the M16x1.5 inlet and outlet ports are free from debris is essential for preventing overheating. Regular checks of the valve plate and piston rings are recommended to extend service life.

Troubleshooting and service tips

When troubleshooting air pressure drops, inspect the water cooling lines and the electrical connections for the ESS feature. If significant wear is detected on the cylinder surface or crankshaft bearings, consulting an authorized distributor is advised to ensure proper fitment and performance.
