Description

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head is a cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above. It acts as the top cover, housing the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, internal air passages, and cooling cavities. This component is vital for maintaining the compressor's air output and governing its running temperature during operation.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This part is compatible with MAN vehicles. It is specifically engineered to allow workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit, providing a cost-effective solution for fleet maintenance.

Installation and maintenance

When performing installation, ensure that the cylinder block surface is clean and free of debris. Proper sealing of the head is critical to prevent pressure loss within the pneumatic system. Technicians should inspect the valve seats and air passages during every replacement to ensure optimal pneumatic performance.

Selection guidance

To ensure correct fitment, always verify compatibility based on the specific compressor architecture and reference numbers used by the vehicle manufacturer.

OE cross-reference
