What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head serves as the essential cast component that closes the top of the air brake compressor's cylinder block. It provides the necessary seats for both inlet and discharge valves, ensuring that compressed air is routed correctly through the discharge port while maintaining a high-pressure seal. By managing compression heat and maintaining structural integrity, this part is vital for the reliable operation of the pneumatic braking system.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific component is designed to fit Volvo TAMD162 engines, specifically for the D16 series. It is engineered to match the exact dimensions required for these heavy commercial vehicle applications, ensuring seamless integration into the existing compressor assembly. For technicians performing rebuilds, it is essential to verify that the cooling type and flange pattern match the original unit.

Installation and maintenance

Maintenance of the cylinder head is crucial for preventing air leaks within the pneumatic circuit. When inspecting this part, technicians should check the valve seats and port dimensions to ensure no degradation has occurred. Using high-strength components helps maintain consistent pressure delivery during heavy-duty service cycles. Consult your authorized distributor.

Troubleshooting guidance

If air pressure drops or leaks are detected near the compressor top, this cylinder head may require inspection or replacement as part of a larger compressor overhaul.
