85000329 VOLVO FH 12/500 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The air compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary compressed air for reliable operation. This twin cylinder unit is designed with a robust construction to withstand high-pressure environments and ensure continuous airflow for the vehicle's braking and pneumatic systems.

85000329 is the OE-equivalent twin cylinder air compressor used in the VOLVO FH 12/500 with D12 engine. This unit is fully compatible with the VOLVO 85000329 specification, ensuring seamless integration with existing engine-driven accessory systems. The precision-engineered components maintain high volumetric efficiency and long-term operational stability.

For workshop technicians, this component offers a direct-fit solution with a water-cooled design (W) to manage heat effectively during intensive duty cycles. Key technical specifications include a Ø35 air inlet port, an M12x1 air unloader port, and dual M16x1,5 water ports. Proper installation of the water-cooling lines is essential to maintain the integrity of the valve plate and ensure the longevity of the compressor assembly.

The unit features an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to optimize performance under high thermal loads. With a total weight of approximately 20.8 KG, it is built to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle service environments.
