85000360 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FH12

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Built with high-strength components, it ensures consistent air pressure delivery to the braking system under demanding operational conditions. The unit is specifically engineered to withstand high thermal loads through its integrated water-cooling mechanism.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with Volvo FH12 trucks equipped with D12C engines. It is designed to meet the precise requirements of the vehicle's air management system, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance for fleet managers and workshop technicians.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation requires attention to the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports to maintain optimal cooling. The unit features an M26x1,5 air outlet port and an M16x1,5 unloader port. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and connections is recommended to maintain peak efficiency.

Operational performance and checks
