85000118 Compressor for Volvo FH16 D16C Engines

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor is engineered to provide consistent pneumatic pressure within the vehicle's braking system. Designed for heavy-duty operation, the unit utilizes a water-cooled mechanism to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous service. Its robust construction ensures high-strength performance under the demanding conditions of heavy commercial vehicles.

Compatibility with Volvo FH16 engines

This specific model is compatible with Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16C engines. It functions as a direct replacement for the original component, maintaining precise system integration. The unit features an air inlet port of Ø35 and an air outlet port of M26x1,5 to ensure seamless connection to the existing pneumatic lines.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify that the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) are clear and compatible with the cooling circuit. Given its 15.6 kg weight and water-cooled valve plate design, ensuring proper coolant flow is vital for preventing overheating and maintaining optimal compression efficiency during operation.

Troubleshooting and replacement

When assessing performance issues, technicians should inspect the valve plate and piston rings. If deep scoring is found on the cylinder surface or if there is excessive play in the crankshaft bearings, a complete unit replacement is recommended to ensure long-term reliability in the fleet.
