51541007181 MAN NL Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor plays a critical role in the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles by generating high-volume compressed air through two piston-cylinder assemblies. Built with high-strength components, this unit is designed to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy-duty engine environments.

Compatible MAN NL vehicles and models

This specific model is compatible with MAN NL trucks, including models such as the 243, 230 CNG, 360, 310 CNG, 310, and 263. It provides the necessary air output required for the demanding pneumatic needs of these specific MAN NL vehicle configurations.

Installation and maintenance guidance

The assembly features a water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures during continuous use. Technical specifications include an M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet port, along with M22x1,5 ports for water circulation. Technicians should verify all port connections and cooling line integrity during installation to ensure system stability.

System troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the through-drive mechanism and cooling efficiency is recommended to prevent system pressure drops. For precise fitment verification, check the compatibility list.
