85003282 Volvo FM D13A 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, ensuring consistent air pressure delivery. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses typical of long-haul operations.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is engineered for Volvo FM series trucks, including models such as the FM 300, FM 340, and FM 500, as well as the Volvo FM13 equipped with D13A engines. It provides stable air supply for the braking and pneumatic systems across these various configurations.

Installation and maintenance

The assembly features a water-cooled design with an M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet port to manage operating temperatures effectively. It includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to optimize efficiency. Installation requires careful attention to the M26x1,5 air outlet port and Ø35 air inlet port to ensure leak-free operation.

System performance and troubleshooting

For optimal system longevity, technicians should regularly inspect the air unloader port and cooling lines. Maintaining the integrity of the water cooling circuit is essential for preventing overheating during high-load cycles.
