23670683 Volvo B13R D13K Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a vital component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary air pressure for reliable operation. Built with high-strength components, this unit is engineered to withstand the thermal stresses of continuous heavy-duty operation through its integrated water-cooling design.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is compatible with Volvo B13R trucks equipped with D13K engines. It is designed to meet the high air output requirements of heavy-duty applications, ensuring efficient pressure build-up within the braking circuit.

Technical specifications and installation

Technicians should note the technical specifications: this unit features a Ø92.00 mm cylinder bore, a 57 mm stroke, and a swept volume of 760cm³. It includes an M26x1.5 air inlet port, M22x1.5 air outlet port, and M18x1.5 water inlet and outlet ports. The design includes a water-cooled valve plate and an ESS feature to optimize performance.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

For proper maintenance, ensure the cooling circuit is free of obstructions to allow efficient heat dissipation through the M18x1.5 ports. Check all connection threads, including the M10x1 unloader port, during installation to prevent pneumatic leaks.
