22040497 SP1 VOLVO Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The heavy-duty air compressor is a critical component for maintaining consistent pneumatic pressure within the vehicle's braking and suspension systems. Designed as a twin cylinder unit, this part ensures reliable air production through high-strength components and a robust water-cooled architecture. Its precision-engineered design meets the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle operations.

22040497 SP1 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 22040497 SP1 air compressor used in VOLVO heavy commercial vehicles. This unit features a cylinder bore of Ø85.00 and a stroke of 62 mm, providing a swept volume of 704cm³. It is fully compatible with the specified technical requirements for seamless integration into the engine's pneumatic circuit.

For workshop technicians, this component offers high assembly ease due to its standard port sizes, including an M26x1,5 air outlet and M16x1,5 water ports. The inclusion of the ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate ensures optimal thermal management during long-haul operations. Regular maintenance of the water inlet and outlet connections is essential to ensure the longevity of the compressor system.

Proper installation requires checking the through-drive compatibility and ensuring the air unloader port (M16x1,5) is correctly routed. This part is specifically engineered for high-load environments where consistent air supply is vital for safety and vehicle control.
