22011866 Volvo D13 Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor plays a critical role in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary air pressure for braking and auxiliary equipment. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand intense thermal loads through its integrated water-cooling system, ensuring consistent performance under heavy-duty operating conditions.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is compatible with Volvo TAD1350-1360VE engines, specifically the D13 series. It features a through-drive design and is equipped with an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to maintain optimal thermal management during long-haul operations.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the M32x1.5 air inlet port and M26x1.5 outlet port configurations. Ensure that the M16x1.5 water inlet and outlet ports are correctly aligned with the engine cooling circuit to prevent overheating. Regular inspection of the M10x1 unloader port is recommended to maintain stable system pressure.

Selection advice for technicians

When replacing an existing unit, it is vital to match the mounting flange and port locations exactly to avoid system mismatching. Consult your authorized distributor.
