21516476 FMX D13C Air Brake Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It converts mechanical energy into pressurized air, ensuring consistent pressure for the vehicle's air brake system. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy-duty engine environments.

Compatibility with Volvo FMX engines

This specific unit is compatible with Volvo FMX trucks equipped with D13C engines. It maintains optimal performance through advanced engineering, including a water-cooled valve plate to manage operating temperatures effectively. The assembly features an M26x1,5 outlet port and an M12x1,5 unloader port to facilitate seamless integration into existing pneumatic lines.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify all port connections, including the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports. Ensuring proper coolant flow through the water-cooled jacket is essential for preventing overheating. Regular inspection of the through-drive mechanism and air inlet ports is recommended to maintain system integrity during routine service intervals.
