5000694824 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Renault Trucks KERAX

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 delivers a higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring rapid reservoir charging during intensive operation. This specific model is engineered with heavy-duty grade materials to withstand high-pressure environments.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This unit is specifically compatible with Renault Trucks KERAX models, including various configurations such as the 330, 380, 430, 440, and 460 series. It is an ideal replacement for high-demand applications where reliable pneumatic pressure is essential for vehicle safety and braking performance.

Installation and maintenance

Installation requires careful attention to the water cooling circuit via the M18x1.5 inlet and outlet ports to prevent overheating. Technicians should verify the through drive configuration and ensure the M26x1.5 air ports are correctly seated to maintain system integrity during high-pressure cycles.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and connection points is recommended to prevent leaks or pressure drops in the pneumatic circuit.
