Description

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

A compressor cylinder head is the cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above.

Compatibility and application

This component is vital for maintaining the integrity of the compression chamber. It houses the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, internal air passages, and cooling cavities, directly governing both the air output and the operating temperature of the unit. Using high-strength components during a rebuild helps ensure long-term reliability in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Installation and maintenance

This specific cylinder head is designed to be compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It allows workshop technicians to perform an in-place rebuild of the compressor rather than replacing the entire assembly, making it a cost-effective solution for fleet maintenance.

Rebuilding guidance

When performing installation, ensure all surfaces are clean and gaskets are seated correctly to prevent pressure leaks. Check the unloader port and valve seating areas during every replacement to ensure optimal pneumatic performance. Consult your authorized distributor.

OE cross-reference

15 03 50 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number K029171K50.
