457 130 69 15 Mercedes-Benz Tourismo Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This water-cooled twin cylinder compressor is a critical component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, specifically designed to meet high air demand requirements. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it delivers a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring rapid pressure buildup in the pneumatic reservoirs. This unit is constructed with high-strength components to withstand rigorous operating conditions.

Compatibility with Mercedes-Benz Tourismo

This specific model is engineered for use in Mercedes-Benz Tourismo (O 350) vehicles, including the Tourismo 15 RHD and Tourismo 16 RHD variants fitted with the OM 457 HLA engine. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing air brake circuit, providing reliable compression for touring coaches and heavy commercial applications.

Technical installation and maintenance

Installation and maintenance should be handled by a workshop technician. The unit features an M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet port, along with M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports to facilitate cooling. To ensure maximum service life, technicians should regularly inspect the water cooling lines and ensure that the ESS feature and water-cooled valve plate are functioning correctly within the system.

Selection and replacement guidance

When replacing this unit, it is essential to verify that all mounting interfaces and port locations match the original equipment. Proper maintenance of the vehicle's air dryer and intake filters will help prevent premature wear of the internal components.
