K172097N00 KNORR-BREMSE Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

This heavy-duty twin cylinder air compressor is engineered to provide reliable pneumatic pressure within the heavy commercial vehicle braking system. Designed for durability and continuous operation, the component utilizes high-strength components to withstand rigorous industrial environments. The integrated water-cooling system ensures optimal thermal management during high-load cycles, maintaining consistent performance in demanding transport applications.

K172097N00 is the OE equivalent of the KNORR-BREMSE K172097N00 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor used in KNORR-BREMSE systems. This precision-engineered part features a cylinder bore of Ø86.00 mm and a stroke of 62 mm, providing a swept volume of 720cm³. It is specifically designed to meet the strict technical requirements of professional workshop technicians and fleet managers who require exact OEM compatibility.

The assembly features an M26x1,5 air inlet port and an M22x1,5 air outlet port, alongside an M18x1,5 water inlet/outlet configuration for efficient cooling. Maintenance professionals should ensure that all connection ports are checked for debris before installation to maintain the integrity of the water-cooled valve plate system. This component is optimized for seamless integration into existing pneumatic circuits without compromising system pressure or reliability.

Proper installation requires verifying the through-drive alignment and ensuring the M10x1 air unloader port is clear. Regular inspections of the water inlet and outlet ports are recommended to prevent any cooling inefficiencies during long-distance heavy commercial transport operations.
