70330081 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FH16

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a vital component within the air brake system, providing the necessary pressurized air required for reliable braking performance. Built with high-strength components, this unit is engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle environments.

Vehicle compatibility and engine fitment

This specific model is designed for Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16B engines. It functions seamlessly within the engine's pneumatic circuit to maintain consistent pressure levels across the entire braking network.

Technical specifications and cooling

Technical specifications include a Ø88.00 mm cylinder bore and a 50 mm stroke, resulting in a 608cm³ swept volume. The unit features a water-cooled design with M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports, an M26x1,5 air outlet port, and an M22x1,5 air unloader port. It also includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to optimize thermal management.

Maintenance and installation guidance

To ensure proper operation, technicians should inspect the water cooling lines and air ports for any signs of leakage during routine maintenance. Maintaining clean coolant and air lines helps prevent premature wear of the internal components.
