What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic system of heavy-duty engines, providing the necessary compressed air for braking and auxiliary systems. Designed with high-strength components, this unit utilizes a water-cooling mechanism to maintain optimal operating temperatures during sustained heavy-duty operation.

Compatibility with Caterpillar engines

This specific model is compatible with Caterpillar engines, including the C7, C9, C11, C13, C15, and C18 series. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicles and construction machinery where consistent air pressure is vital for safety and performance.

Technical specifications and installation

The assembly features a Ø92.00 mm cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke, delivering a swept volume of 360cm³. For proper installation, ensure the water inlet and outlet ports (3/4’’-16 UNF) are correctly integrated into the engine cooling circuit. This unit includes an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to enhance durability.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

To maintain peak efficiency, technicians should regularly inspect the air inlet (7/8’’-14 UNF) and outlet (3/16’’-12 UN) connections for leaks or debris. Proper lubrication and monitoring of the cooling circuit are essential to prevent overheating and ensure long service life in the field.
