85000117 Volvo FL12 Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system, providing the necessary air pressure for heavy commercial vehicle operations. Built with high-strength components, it is designed to withstand demanding thermal and mechanical stresses encountered during continuous service cycles.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is designed for use in Volvo FL12 trucks, including variants such as the FL 12/420, FL 12H/420, and FL 12/340. It is compatible with Volvo systems and provides a reliable replacement for original equipment components in these specific vehicle models.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) and the air unloader port (M12x1). Given its water-cooled design and through-drive capability, ensuring correct coolant flow and mounting alignment is essential for maintaining optimal swept volume of 704cm³ and preventing overheating.

Selection guidance

When replacing a compressor, it is vital to ensure all port sizes and mounting specifications match the existing setup to avoid system leaks or pressure drops.
