8113023 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FL12

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system, providing the necessary compressed air for heavy commercial vehicle operations. Engineered with high-strength components, it features a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads during continuous operation, ensuring consistent performance for fleet managers and workshop technicians.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

The unit is specifically compatible with Volvo FL12 trucks equipped with TD122 engines. It features a Ø88.00 cylinder bore, a 50 mm stroke, and a 608cm³ swept volume to meet demanding service requirements. This compressor is also fitted to various Volvo models through specific OE requirements.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) and the air outlet port (M26x1.5). Ensuring the through-drive alignment and unloader port (M22x1.5) match the existing system setup is vital for preventing leaks or pressure drops in the air brake system.

Operational reliability

Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and port seals helps maintain optimal air delivery and prevents premature wear in the pneumatic circuit.
