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. This part is essential for workshop technicians looking to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. It acts as the primary seal for the compression chamber, directly influencing both air output and operational temperature.

Compatibility and system function

This component is designed to be compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It functions effectively within the heavy commercial vehicle braking architecture, providing the necessary seating for inlet and discharge valves while managing internal air passages. The design ensures reliable performance under the high-pressure demands of commercial air brake systems.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing installation or maintenance, ensure all mating surfaces are clean and inspect valve seats for any debris. Proper torque application is critical to maintain a seal between the head and the cylinder block. For optimal service life, verify that the unloader port and cooling cavities are free from obstructions during assembly.

Selection and service guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure this part meets the specific architecture of your compressor, whether it be single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, or water-cooled configurations.

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 LK1504S1.
