85000117 SP2 Compatible Volvo VHD D12 Air Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is a vital component within the pneumatic braking system, providing the necessary air pressure for heavy commercial vehicle operations. Engineered with high-strength components, it ensures consistent air delivery under demanding duty cycles. The unit features a through-drive design and is specifically configured for water-cooled thermal management to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This compressor is specifically fitted to Volvo VHD trucks equipped with D12 engines. It operates in harmony with the engine's cooling system via the M16x1.5 water inlet and outlet ports. This ensures that the air compression process remains stable even during prolonged heavy-duty operations.

Installation and maintenance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the through-drive gear compatibility and the M26x1.5 air outlet port alignment. Maintenance should focus on checking the water cooling lines and the M12x1 air unloader port to prevent pressure fluctuations or overheating during service intervals.

Technical selection guidance

When replacing this unit, it is essential to ensure that the swept volume of 704cm³ matches the requirements of the existing pneumatic circuit to maintain system equilibrium.
