21379906 Compressor for Volvo FMX D13C Engines

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor plays a vital role in the pneumatic braking system by providing the necessary air pressure for vehicle deceleration and pneumatic operations. Built with high-strength components, this unit ensures consistent air delivery even under heavy-duty thermal loads common in long-haul applications.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is specifically engineered for Volvo FMX trucks equipped with D13C engines, including various FM series models such as FM 300 through FM 500. It is designed to maintain optimal pressure within the air brake system of these heavy commercial vehicles.

Technical specifications and cooling

The technical configuration includes an Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore and a 62 mm stroke, resulting in a swept volume of 704cm³. It features a water-cooled design with M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports, an M26x1,5 air outlet port, and an M16x1,5 unloader port to ensure efficient thermal management and precise pressure regulation.

Maintenance and installation guidance

To ensure proper function, technicians should inspect the water cooling lines and the air unloader port during routine maintenance. Maintaining clean coolant flow is essential for the longevity of the water-cooled valve plate and the overall integrity of the compressor unit.
