ZF’s latest innovation in compressor technology builds on the perfect match between 2-stage compression know-how and proven clutch technology to intelligently and efficiently create compressed air for commercial vehicles, especially for long-haul transport. It supports to provide better VECTO rating of the vehicle with substantially lower power consumption and helps OEMs to comply with current and future CO₂ regulations.
Customer Benefits
- Designed to provide heavy-duty commercial vehicles with compressed air
- Maximizes fuel efficiency when used in conjunction with an electronic or electronically controlled air processing unit
- Provides overall higher compressor effectiveness and less CO₂ emission
- Significantly lowers oil carry-over and carbon build-up compared to 1-stage designs
- Provides substantially improved air quality
- Helps OEMs to comply with current and future CO₂ regulations
- Increased robustness and durability support to improve Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Features & Capabilities
- Air compression in two stages enables system pressure up to 15 bar
- Integrates pneumatic clutch to enable the compressor to completely disengage from the engine during energy-intensive and off-load phases
- Allows for intelligent air compression in combination with an electronic or electronically controlled air processing unit
- Enables inter-cooling of compressed air between both stages reducing end-compression temperatures by up to 100ºC
- Requires lower peak torques during compression reducing stress on the clutch
- Fail-safe clutch ensures that the compressor continues to pump air in case of broken signal line from air processing unit
