21388369 SP1 Volvo Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It provides the necessary air pressure required for reliable brake actuation and system stability. Engineered with high-strength components, this unit ensures long-term durability under demanding operational conditions.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This compressor is specifically compatible with Volvo VHD trucks equipped with D12 engines. It features a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation. The unit includes an air unloader port (M16x1,5) and an air outlet port (M26x1,5) to ensure seamless integration into existing pneumatic circuits.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify that all port connections—including the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports—are correctly aligned to prevent leaks. Given the through-drive configuration, ensure the mounting flange matches the engine interface exactly to maintain optimal timing and pressure delivery.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to confirm precise fitment for your specific engine configuration.
