3104216RX Cummins Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, converting engine power into compressed air. Designed with a robust single-piston structure, it ensures consistent air pressure delivery to the air processing unit and tanks. The unit features water cooling to manage operational temperatures effectively under heavy-duty service conditions.

Engine and system compatibility

This compressor is compatible with Cummins engines and is engineered to meet high-performance standards. The design includes a water-cooled valve plate and an integrated ESS feature to optimize system efficiency and reliability. Its construction is suitable for the demanding requirements of heavy commercial vehicle braking systems.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet port connections (M18x1,5) and ensure the air outlet port (M27x2) is correctly seated. Regular inspection of the water-cooled components and the air unloader port (M10x1) is recommended to maintain peak pneumatic performance and prevent system leaks.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Maintaining correct lubrication and cooling flow is essential for preventing premature wear in the piston assembly. Monitoring pressure output helps in early detection of potential issues within the air brake circuit. Consult your authorized distributor for further guidance.
