22040500 Volvo FM Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It utilizes a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads during continuous operation, ensuring consistent air pressure delivery for the vehicle's braking and pneumatic functions. The unit is constructed from high-strength components to withstand demanding duty cycles.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

The component is specifically engineered for use in Volvo FM series trucks, including models such as the FM 440, FM 420, and FM 480. It is also compatible with various other configurations within the FM range, providing a reliable replacement for fleet managers and workshop technicians looking to maintain optimal system performance.

Installation and maintenance

Installation requires careful attention to the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) and the air outlet port (M26x1.5) to ensure leak-free operation. Technicians should verify the integrity of the water cooling lines and check the ESS feature functionality during routine maintenance to prevent system pressure drops.

System maintenance tips

Regular inspection of the compressor's performance helps prevent air leaks and ensures the pneumatic system operates within specified parameters. Consult your authorized distributor.
