22040497 SP2 VOLVO Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

The twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic systems of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and suspension functions. This high-strength component is engineered to handle the rigorous demands of long-haul transport, providing reliable air delivery through its precision-engineered cylinders and optimized port configurations.

22040497 SP2 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 22040497 SP2 air compressor used in VOLVO heavy commercial vehicles. This unit features a dual-cylinder design with a cylinder bore of Ø85.00 and a stroke of 62 mm, delivering a swept volume of 704cm³. It is fully compatible with the specified technical requirements for seamless integration into existing pneumatic architectures.

Designed for workshop technicians and fleet managers, this assembly includes an integrated water-cooled system to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The water inlet and outlet ports are sized at M16x1,5 to ensure stable thermal regulation during high-load cycles. The unit also features an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to enhance durability and service life.

Maintenance of the air compressor system is vital for vehicle safety. Technicians should regularly inspect the air inlet port (Ø35) and the unloader port (M16x1,5) for any signs of blockage or wear. Ensuring the cooling system is functioning correctly will prevent overheating and maintain the efficiency of the twin cylinder mechanism.
