4948553 Single Cylinder Compressor for ISLe engines

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a vital component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by compressing intake air to provide the necessary pressure for the air processing unit and subsequent storage in air tanks. Built with high-strength components, this unit ensures consistent performance under demanding operational cycles.

Engine compatibility and technical specifications

This specific model is engineered to be compatible with Cummins engines, specifically the ISBe, ISDe, and ISLe series. It features a water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures during sustained use, which is essential for long-haul applications. The unit includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to enhance thermal management.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the port connections: the air inlet is M26x1.5, the air outlet is M22x1.5, and the unloader port is M10x1. The water inlet and outlet ports are both M16x1.5. Ensuring correct torque on these connections is critical for preventing leaks and maintaining system pressure.

System integration and selection

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment for your specific engine configuration.
