2200 020 001 Compressor Single Cylinder for Caterpillar

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component in the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By compressing intake air and delivering it to the air processing unit, it ensures consistent pressure for braking performance and pneumatic operations. This specific unit is designed with a water-cooled configuration to prevent overheating during sustained heavy-duty operation.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This component is engineered for compatibility with various heavy commercial vehicles, including Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T800, and Peterbilt 389 models. It is specifically suited for vehicles powered by Caterpillar engines, such as the C7, C11, C13, and C15 series. Whether used in tractor units or construction machinery, this compressor maintains high efficiency through its robust design.

Technical specifications and maintenance

The unit features a 54 mm stroke and a 360cm³ swept volume to meet demanding air requirements. For proper maintenance, technicians should inspect the water inlet and outlet ports (3/4’’-16 UNF) and ensure the air unloader port (1/8’’-27 NPT) remains clear of debris to prevent system malfunctions.

System reliability and inspection

Regular inspection of the through drive mechanism and valve plate integrity is recommended to prevent pressure drops in the brake system. Maintaining clean cooling lines helps preserve the performance of this high-strength component over its service life.
