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 proper air pressure within the braking system. It houses the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, as well as the internal air passages and cooling cavities. By controlling these elements, the cylinder head directly governs both the compressor's air output and its operational temperature during heavy-duty cycles.
Technicians can utilize this component to rebuild a compressor in place, offering a more efficient alternative to replacing the entire unit. Depending on the specific compressor architecture, these heads may be designed for single-cylinder or twin-cylinder configurations, and can be either air-cooled or water-cooled to meet specific engine requirements.
When selecting a replacement, it is critical to match the component to the existing compressor architecture. Selection should always be based on the compressor's own reference number to ensure correct valve seat alignment and port compatibility. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment.

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 valve seats, directly governing air output and temperature.
Can I rebuild a compressor using only the cylinder head?
Yes, this component allows a workshop technician to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit.
How should I select a compatible cylinder head?
Selection must be based on the specific compressor architecture and reference number to ensure correct fitment of valve plates and ports.
What are common symptoms of a faulty cylinder head?
Issues such as improper air output or overheating can indicate that the internal air passages or valve seats within the head require attention.
