85000396 Volvo 8500 Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It is designed to provide consistent air pressure required for reliable braking performance and system actuation. Built with high-strength components, this unit ensures stable operation even under high-pressure demands.

Vehicle compatibility and specifications

Specifically engineered for Volvo 8500 models, this component maintains optimal pressure through its twin cylinder design. The unit features a water-cooled configuration with an Ø85.00 bore and a 62 mm stroke to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation requires careful attention to the water inlet and outlet ports, which feature M16x1,5 threading. Technicians should verify that the M26x1,5 air outlet port and the M12x1 air unloader port align with the existing vehicle plumbing to ensure a leak-free seal during assembly.

System performance and maintenance

Regular inspection of the water cooling lines and air ports is recommended to prevent pressure drops. For optimal service life, ensure all connections are tightened to specification and check the integrity of the cooling system interfaces.
