457 130 69 15 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Mercedes-Benz

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it provides a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring that air reservoirs are replenished quickly and reliably under high demand. This specific model is engineered with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and pressure cycles typical in touring coach operations.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This unit is specifically compatible with Mercedes-Benz Tourismo (O 350) vehicles utilizing the OM 457 LA engine, including variants such as the Tourismo 15 RHD, 16 RHD, 17 RHD, and SHD models. It features water cooling with M16x1,5 inlet and outlet ports to manage operational temperatures effectively. The design includes an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to optimize performance.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify that the M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports match the existing lines. Maintenance of the intake filter and ensuring proper coolant flow through the M16x1,5 ports is essential for extending service life. This compressor features a through drive design and an M12x1,5 air unloader port for precise system regulation.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Regularly inspecting the unloader port and checking for any signs of coolant leakage around the valve plate can prevent system failures. When replacing this component, ensure all mounting interfaces align perfectly with the engine's drive configuration to maintain optimal pressure delivery throughout the vehicle's operation.
