Truck air-compressor repair
A truck’s compressor is an essential component and must be checked regularly to ensure proper operation.
Its primary function is to supply compressed air to the truck’s braking systems and pneumatic suspension. Typically, the air compressor is driven by the truck’s engine, lubricated via the engine oil supply, and cooled by the engine coolant. There are also compressors driven hydraulically.
If the air compressor develops a fault, you’ll notice immediately: the truck’s brakes will not perform as usual. For the truck’s braking system to function properly, a continuous supply of compressed air is essential.
Air-compressor faults can have many causes – frequent and inefficient braking, significant pneumatic suspension oscillation, noticeable air leaks in the system, etc. All of these must be addressed immediately.
The most common compressor issues involve the safety valve, the air filter, or the pressure regulator. At the first signs of trouble, it’s worth visiting a repair centre. Tt will help you avoid bigger losses.
