85000117 Compatible Volvo NH12 Air Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air brake compressor is a critical engine-driven component designed to provide high-volume compressed air for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it ensures rapid reservoir filling and consistent pressure delivery even under demanding operating conditions. This unit is constructed with high-strength components to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of heavy-duty duty cycles.

Vehicle compatibility and fitment

Specifically engineered for Volvo NH12 models, including the NH 12/340, NH 12/380, NH 12/420, and NH 12/460 variants, this compressor ensures precise system integration. It is built to meet the rigorous requirements of the Volvo air brake system, providing an efficient solution for fleet managers and workshop technicians looking for reliable replacements.

Technical specifications and cooling

The unit features a water-cooled design with M16x1.5 water inlet and outlet ports, ensuring optimal temperature regulation during operation. Technical specifications include a swept volume of 704cm³, an air inlet port of Ø35, and an unloader port of M12x1. This water-cooled configuration helps maintain performance stability in high-load environments.

Installation and maintenance guidance

To ensure correct installation, technicians should verify the through drive configuration and all port connections during the replacement process. Regular inspection of the water cooling lines and air connections is recommended to prevent system pressure drops.
