Description

What does a cylinder head do?

The cylinder head is a critical service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block to seal the compression chamber from above. This part allows workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. It functions by housing the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, internal air passages, and necessary cooling cavities.

Compatibility and application

This component is designed for use in heavy commercial vehicle air brake systems and is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It ensures the compressor maintains stable pressure and temperature during high-load operations, making it an essential part for fleet maintenance and repair.

Installation and maintenance

When replacing the cylinder head, technicians should verify the specific compressor architecture, whether it is a single-cylinder or twin-cylinder configuration. Proper installation ensures the integrity of the compression chamber and prevents air leaks within the pneumatic system. Consult your authorized distributor.

System performance

Regular inspection of the cylinder head seating areas can help prevent premature wear and ensure consistent air output for the braking system.

OE cross-reference

20 09 50 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number LK1500S1.
