22016995 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo VNL

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. By converting mechanical energy into compressed air, it ensures the consistent pressure required for reliable braking performance and air-actuated systems. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand rigorous duty cycles in demanding environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is compatible with Volvo VNL trucks equipped with D13 engines. It is designed to match the requirements of the original equipment, ensuring seamless integration into the existing air management system of the vehicle. The unit supports the high-demand air requirements typical of heavy-duty transport applications.

Technical specifications and installation

Technical specifications include a Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore and a 56 mm stroke, resulting in a 636cm³ swept volume. For installation, note the M26x1.5 air outlet port and M16x1.5 ports for air unloader and water connections. This water-cooled unit requires proper coolant flow through the M16x1.5 inlet and outlet ports to maintain optimal thermal stability.

Maintenance and system checks

Regular inspection of the air inlet (Ø35) and unloader ports is recommended to prevent contamination within the system. Maintaining clean air intake ensures the longevity of the internal components and consistent pressure delivery for the vehicle's pneumatic systems.
