Description

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head is a cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above. It is designed to allow a workshop technician to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the whole unit. Inside the head are the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, the internal air passages, and the cooling cavities, which directly govern both the compressor's air output and its running temperature.

Compatibility and selection

This component is compatible with WABCO systems. Selection should always be based on the specific compressor architecture, as different engine options may require different head types, such as single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, or versions with specific unloader ports.

Installation and maintenance

When replacing this part, technicians should inspect the cylinder block surface and valve seats to ensure proper sealing. Maintaining clean installation surfaces is vital for preventing air leaks and ensuring stable operating temperatures under high load. Consult your authorized distributor for fitment guidance.
