5000694824 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Renault Trucks KERAX

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor functions 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 rapid reservoir replenishment during intensive braking cycles. This unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand the demanding thermal and mechanical stresses of heavy-duty operation.

Compatible Renault Trucks KERAX models

This specific model is compatible with Renault Trucks KERAX vehicles equipped with DXi engines, including various configurations such as the 330, 380, 430, 440, and 460 series. It is specifically designed to meet the high air demand requirements of these heavy-duty chassis.

Installation and maintenance guidance

The unit features a water-cooled design with a water inlet and outlet port size of M18x1,5 to integrate seamlessly into the engine cooling circuit. For installation, technicians should verify the M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports and ensure the through drive interface is correctly aligned. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate is recommended to maintain optimal compression efficiency.

Troubleshooting and selection

Maintaining consistent air pressure requires checking for leaks at the M26x1,5 connections and ensuring the cooling flow remains unobstructed to prevent overheating during sustained use.
