5003460 Compressor for Volvo F12 TD120 Engines

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component in the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies to generate the compressed air required for braking and pneumatic functions. Engineered for high durability, this unit features a water-cooled design to maintain thermal stability during intensive operation, ensuring consistent performance under heavy loads.

Compatibility with Volvo F12 engines

Specifically designed for Volvo F12 vehicles equipped with TD120 engines, this compressor provides efficient air production through its dual-cylinder configuration. The unit is characterized by an Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore and a 62 mm stroke, delivering a total swept volume of 704cm³. It is compatible with Volvo OEM specifications to ensure seamless integration into the engine's existing drive system.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation, technicians should verify that the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) and the air outlet port (M26x1,5) align with the vehicle's existing lines. Given its weight of 20.9 KG and through-drive configuration, ensure all mounting points are secure and the cooling circuit is fully operational to prevent overheating during long-haul operations.

Selection and replacement advice

When replacing this component, it is essential to confirm that the gear drive and port locations match the removed unit exactly to avoid system mismatching.
