85000360 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for Volvo FH16

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. It is designed to provide consistent air pressure through high-strength components and precise engineering. The unit features a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads during continuous operation, ensuring long-term stability under heavy-duty conditions.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is compatible with Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16C engines. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the braking system, providing necessary air volume for heavy-duty applications. Check the compatibility list.

Installation and maintenance

The assembly includes an M26x1,5 air outlet port and an M16x1,5 unloader port, facilitating seamless integration into existing pneumatic circuits. Technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet port connections (M16x1,5) and ensure the through drive mechanism is properly aligned during installation to prevent premature wear.

System performance and checks

Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and air ports is recommended to maintain optimal pressure delivery and prevent leaks within the air brake system.
