Tightening exhaust emission standards and the constant search for ways to reduce fuel consumption have been driving the development of automotive technology for many years. This results in the emergence of increasingly complex and costly solutions.
Their handling can cause many problems during operation and repairs. Replacing a complete compressor worth several thousand zlotys often turns out to be unnecessary due to the possibility of using a repair kit worth PLN 200-800. So we can see the savings with the naked eye…. as long as we have the right tools. The same is true for air generation systems in commercial vehicles. KNORR-BREMSE air compressors equipped with multi-plate clutches are a great example. We will meet them both in Volvo, Renault and Scania Euro 6 vehicles, but also in older MAN vehicles. The use of a clutch enables disconnection of the compressor drive when the appropriate pressure in the pneumatic system is reached. In short - the compressor, after completing the task, stops spinning. Thanks to this, the friction forces of the compressor's crank-piston system and its inertia cease to load the engine. Another benefit is slower wear of the cooperating elements of this system. Simple and effective right?
TOOL CASE (A: 224429 )
Having a KNORR BREMSE tool in your workshop, you will make your work easier during:
The problem arises when the compressor fails. The purchase of a complete subassembly, due to the degree of construction advancement, is associated with a significant financial outlay. This is often a multiple of the value of a traditional compressor. Of course, we can use original KNORR BREMSE repair kits, significantly reducing repair costs and making our vehicle operational again. However, the question remains - how to maintain full professionalism and avoid damage to parts during renovation work? The answer is surprisingly simple!
Just use the special KNORR-BREMSE tools and the repair manuals they provide. In the case of the discussed compressors with a clutch, the K052066K50 tool kit is an indispensable companion. When maintaining , repairing or replacing complex systems , it is necessary to use special repair tools to restore the original condition of the parts. Without the use of professional equipment, key components such as seals or guides can be damaged or the workshop will need a significant amount of additional time. The new tool case for clutch compressors fits perfectly into KNORR BREMSE's service strategy, i.e. the optimal combination of repair kits and special tools that are needed for safe, fast and economical service.
