Description

What does a cylinder head do?

This cylinder head serves as the primary sealing component that sits atop the air brake compressor cylinder block. It functions to seal the compression chamber from above, allowing workshop technicians to perform precise rebuilds of the compressor unit without needing to replace the entire assembly. By housing the valve seats and internal air passages, this part directly governs both air output and thermal regulation.

Compatibility and fitment

This specific component is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It is engineered to withstand the high-pressure environments found in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, ensuring a secure seal for the compression chamber.

Installation and maintenance

When performing installation, technicians should inspect the cylinder block surface and valve seats to ensure optimal seating. Proper maintenance of the cylinder head and associated valves is essential for maintaining consistent air pressure within the pneumatic braking system.

Selection guidance

To ensure correct fitment, always verify compatibility based on the specific compressor architecture and reference numbers used by the vehicle manufacturer.

OE cross-reference

15 01 10 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number K007996.

FAQ

What is the function of a compressor cylinder head?
It acts as a cover that seals the compression chamber from above, housing the inlet and discharge valve seats while managing internal air passages.
Can this part be used to rebuild a compressor?
Yes, this component allows workshop technicians to rebuild an existing compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit.
What determines if a cylinder head is compatible?
Compatibility depends on the compressor architecture and specific system requirements; always check against the compressor's own reference number.
What should be checked during installation?
Technicians should ensure all valve seats are clean and that the mounting surface on the cylinder block is free of debris to ensure a proper seal.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
15 01 10 directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number K007996.
