21379906 Compressor for Volvo FM D13C Engines

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a dual-cylinder configuration, it ensures a steady and reliable supply of compressed air required for braking operations and pneumatic auxiliary functions. The unit is constructed with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and pressure demands of long-haul transport environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

Specifically engineered for Volvo FM models, including the FM 300 through FM 500 series, this unit is also compatible with Volvo FM13 trucks equipped with D13C engines. It is designed to meet the strict requirements of the vehicle's air management system, ensuring seamless integration with existing pneumatic lines and cooling circuits.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional technicians, this compressor features a water-cooled design with M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports to manage operating temperatures effectively. The assembly includes an integrated unloader port (M16x1,5) and an air inlet port (Ø35) to facilitate proper system pressure regulation. Regular inspection of the water cooling lines and air ports is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

System integration and selection

When performing maintenance, ensure that the through-drive connection is properly aligned and that all connections are tightened to specification to prevent pressure drops in the braking circuit.
