Description

What does a cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head is a cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above. It is designed to allow workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. This component is essential for maintaining optimal pressure and air flow within the pneumatic system.

Compatible vehicles and systems

The part is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems used in heavy commercial vehicles. These heads are engineered to handle high-pressure environments, helping to maintain the integrity of the compression chamber under sustained load.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance, technicians should inspect the valve seats and internal air passages within the head. Ensuring the cylinder cover is seated correctly is vital for preventing pressure drops. Always verify fitment based on the specific compressor architecture to ensure correct sealing and cooling performance.

Troubleshooting and selection

Proper selection of this component helps prevent air leaks and ensures stable operating temperatures during heavy-duty service.

OE cross-reference

15 01 50 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number K010920.
