Air compressor for MAN TGX Euro 5

An air compressor, also known as a pneumatic compressor, is a mechanical device used to increase the pressure of air by compressing it. In the case of trucks such as the MAN TGX, the air compressor is usually driven by the engine crankshaft.

An air compressor works by drawing ambient air into a suction chamber and then reducing its volume through the movement of a piston or impeller. As a result of this process, the air is compressed, which causes the pressure to increase. The compressed air is then stored in an air tank (also called a compressed air tank), where it is available for use by the vehicle's pneumatic systems.

The most important functions of the LP-3997 air compressor

Supplying the Pneumatic System: One of the main roles of an air compressor is to supply compressed air to the vehicle's pneumatic system. The pneumatic system in the MAN TGX includes, among others: brake system, power steering system, air suspension and other systems. The compressed air supplied by the compressor is used to drive these systems and ensure their proper operation.

Brake servo: On MAN TGX trucks, the brakes are usually a pneumatic system. The air compressor supplies compressed air to the brake air reservoir, which stores energy for use during braking. The compressor maintains appropriate air pressure in the braking system, which ensures effective brake operation.

Gearbox support: In some versions of MAN TGX cars, the air compressor can be used to support the gearbox. Compressed air supplied by the compressor can be used to change gears in an automatic transmission or to support the operation of the clutch in a manual transmission.

Engine Power: In some engine configurations, an air compressor may be used to power the intake system. Compressed air supplied by the compressor can be introduced into the engine cylinders to increase combustion efficiency and power.

What are the Symptoms of a Damaged Air Compressor in a MAN Vehicle?

Loss of Air Pressure: A damaged air compressor can generate lower air pressure, which affects the performance of the pneumatic system.

Noise and Vibration: Failure of the OE 51541007231 air compressor may result in disturbing sounds, vibrations or rattling noises.

Increased Fuel Consumption: Inability to compress air effectively can result in increased engine fuel consumption.

What is Air Compressor Regeneration?

Air compressor remanufacturing is a refurbishment process that includes dismantling, cleaning, replacing worn components, and reassembling the compressor. During regeneration, all contaminants are removed and worn out elements are replaced with new or refurbished ones. As a result, the remanufactured air compressor regains its efficiency and reliability.

The remanufactured Knorr-Bremse air compressor from Arcoore is a guarantee of quality, because the regeneration process is carried out in accordance with the highest standards. It offers not only cost savings, but also the assurance that your pneumatic system is working at full power, ensuring safe and comfortable journeys.
