85000396 VOLVO FM 360 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

This twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component designed to provide consistent pneumatic pressure within the heavy commercial vehicle braking system. Engineered for high-strength performance, it features a water-cooled mechanism and a dual-cylinder configuration to ensure reliable operation under demanding industrial conditions. The unit is built with heavy-duty grade materials to withstand constant thermal and mechanical stress during operation.

85000396 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 85000396 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor used in the VOLVO FM 360. This component is specifically designed to meet the rigorous technical requirements of the vehicle's air brake system. By maintaining precise volumetric efficiency and pressure regulation, it ensures the stability of the pneumatic circuit in heavy-duty truck applications.

For workshop technicians and fleet managers, installation requires attention to the water cooling ports (M16x1,5) and the air outlet (M26x1,5) to ensure a leak-free seal. The unit features a through-drive design and is optimized for compatibility with existing heavy commercial vehicle architectures. Regular inspection of the air unloader port and water cooling lines is recommended to maintain peak system performance and prevent downtime.

Proper maintenance of the air compressor assembly is essential for the longevity of the entire pneumatic system. Ensuring that the water inlet and outlet connections are secure will prevent overheating of the valve plate and cylinders. This part provides a direct replacement solution for maintaining original equipment standards in professional service environments.
