2500 240 001 Single Cylinder Compressor for Cummins

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a vital component in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary air pressure for braking operations. Built with high-strength components, this water-cooled unit is integrated into the engine cooling circuit to prevent overheating during sustained heavy-duty use, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with KamAZ, Ford Trucks, Iveco Bus, and Dongfeng trucks, as well as Yutong and Zhongtong models. It is specifically designed for use with Cummins ISBe and ISLe engines. The unit features an M26x1.5 air inlet port, an M22x1.5 air outlet port, and an M10x1 air unloader port to ensure precise system integration.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) are securely connected to the cooling circuit. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and the through-drive mechanism is recommended to maintain optimal pressure delivery and prevent premature wear of the internal piston assembly.

System reliability

Maintaining consistent air pressure is critical for brake performance; therefore, ensuring the compressor meets the specific requirements of the vehicle's engine is essential for fleet safety.
