21353460 Volvo VHD D12 Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor is engineered to provide consistent air pressure for heavy commercial vehicle braking and pneumatic systems. Built with high-strength components, it functions as a vital part of the engine's air supply chain, ensuring the stability of the entire pneumatic circuit during demanding operations.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is designed for Volvo VHD trucks equipped with D12 engines. It features a water-cooled design with a water inlet and outlet port size of M16x1,5, ensuring optimal thermal management during continuous operation. The unit includes an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate for enhanced durability.

Technical installation and maintenance

For installation, technicians should verify the air outlet port (M26x1,5) and the air unloader port (M12x1,5) compatibility. Given the 15.6 KG weight and specific Ø35 air inlet port, ensuring correct alignment during mounting is essential to prevent vibration-related wear in the drive system.

Operational reliability

Maintaining proper coolant flow through the M16x1,5 ports is critical for the longevity of this water-cooled component. Regular checks of the air supply and unloader functionality will help prevent system pressure drops in heavy-duty applications.
