Description
A compressor cylinder head is the cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above.
This component is essential for maintaining the integrity of the compression chamber. By providing the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, as well as internal air passages, this part directly governs both the compressor's air output and its operating temperature. Using a high-strength replacement allows workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit.
Depending on the specific compressor architecture, these heads vary to meet different demands. Options include single-cylinder or twin-cylinder configurations, as well as air-cooled designs with external fins or water-cooled versions with internal jacket channels. Some units are also supplied with valve plate kits or include unloader ports for governor signal reception.
To ensure correct fitment, technicians should always select the head based on the specific compressor's reference number, as different engine options may require different architectures. Consult your authorized distributor to find the exact match for your heavy commercial vehicle application.

FAQ
What is the function of a compressor cylinder head?
The cylinder head seals the compression chamber from above and houses the inlet and discharge valves, directly influencing air output and temperature.
Can I rebuild a compressor using just the cylinder head?
Yes, replacing the cylinder head allows a workshop to rebuild an existing air brake compressor in place instead of replacing the whole unit.
How do I choose the correct cylinder head for my vehicle?
Selection should be based on the compressor's specific reference number, as different architectures like water-cooled or air-cooled are used depending on engine options.
What are some common names for this part?
In workshop environments, this component is often referred to as a compressor cover, top cover, or cylinder cover.
