85003282 Volvo FM 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 engineered to provide consistent air pressure through a high-strength design, ensuring the reliability of the braking and suspension systems under demanding operational conditions. This unit features a water-cooled architecture to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation.

Vehicle compatibility and engine fitment

Designed specifically for the Volvo FM series, including models from FM 300 to FM 500, this compressor is a precise fit for vehicles equipped with the D11A engine. It maintains high efficiency with a 704cm³ swept volume and an air inlet port of Ø35, providing the necessary airflow required for heavy-duty duty cycles. It is also compatible with various Volvo FM truck configurations.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet port requirements (M16x1,5) and ensure the air unloader port (M16x1,5) is correctly aligned. The unit features an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to enhance longevity. Always consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine configuration.

System reliability and troubleshooting

Regular inspection of the air outlet port (M26x1,5) and the drive mechanism is recommended to prevent system pressure drops. Maintaining clean coolant flow through the water ports helps prevent overheating in high-load scenarios.
