85000336 Twin Cylinder Compressor — Volvo FL12 Equivalent

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 for reliable vehicle deceleration. Built with heavy-duty grade materials, it is specifically designed to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This unit is compatible with Volvo FL12 models, including the FL 12/420, FL 12H/420, and FL 12/340 variants. It is engineered to match the specific requirements of these engines, ensuring seamless integration into the existing air brake architecture.

Installation and maintenance

Installation requires careful attention to the water cooling connections (M16x1,5 inlet and outlet) and the air ports (Ø35 inlet and M26x1,5 outlet). Technicians should verify that the through drive and unloader port (M12x1) align perfectly with the engine mounting to ensure optimal performance and prevent system leaks.

System performance guidance

To maintain peak performance, regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and air lines is recommended to prevent contamination within the pneumatic circuit.
