2600 030 002 Compatible Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor is an essential engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit delivers higher air output than single-cylinder alternatives, ensuring rapid reservoir replenishment for high-demand pneumatic systems. Built with high-strength components, it provides reliable compression for demanding industrial and transport applications.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This unit is specifically engineered for use in heavy-duty vehicles equipped with Detroit Diesel S60 engines. It is compatible with various models including Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T800, Peterbilt 379, and Western Star 4900, among others. This compressor is also fitted to International 9200/9400 and Sterling LT9500 series trucks.

Technical specifications and cooling

Designed for efficient thermal management, this water-cooled model includes a water-cooled valve plate to prevent overheating during sustained operation. Technical specifications include a 720cm³ swept volume, an M27x2 air inlet port, and an M22x1.5 air outlet port. Maintenance of the cooling circuit and air intake is vital to ensure optimal performance.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

For optimal service life, technicians should regularly inspect the water inlet (M18x1.5) and outlet ports for leaks or obstructions. Ensuring the ESS feature and unloader port (M10x1.5) function correctly will maintain consistent system pressure throughout the vehicle's operation.
