51541007087 MAN LION´S CITY Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles. It operates by compressing intake air to supply the braking system and air processing units, ensuring consistent pressure for safety-critical operations. The unit is constructed with high-strength components to withstand continuous duty cycles in demanding environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is designed to be compatible with MAN LION´S CITY A 22 engines and related systems. It is engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of the vehicle's air brake system, providing stable performance through its single-piston, single-cylinder architecture.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For maintenance, technicians should inspect the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) and ensure the M26x1.5 air ports are free of debris. Given its water-cooled configuration, checking the coolant flow and preventing scale buildup in the ports is essential for maintaining optimal thermal management and long-term durability.

Troubleshooting and selection

Monitoring air pressure levels can help identify potential issues before they impact braking performance. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine configuration.
