85000117 Compatible Compressor for Volvo VNL D12 Engines

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 required for heavy commercial vehicle operation. Built with high-strength components, it ensures consistent performance under demanding duty cycles to maintain system integrity.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is compatible with Volvo VNL trucks equipped with D12 engines. It features a water-cooled design with a water inlet and outlet port measuring M16x1,5 to manage operating temperatures effectively. The compressor includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to enhance durability.

Installation and maintenance

Technicians should verify the air outlet port (M26x1,5) and air inlet port (Ø35) during installation to ensure correct fitment. Given the 20.8 KG weight and through-drive configuration, proper mounting and alignment are essential for preventing vibration-related wear in the braking system.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the unloader port (M12x1) and cooling lines is recommended to prevent pressure drops or overheating. Consult your authorized distributor.
