1. DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1.1 COMPRESSOR
The compressor in a two-cylinder version with
water-cooled cylinder head.
The compressor is driven by the camshaft gear
via a gear wheel.
The compressor has a so-called energy-saving
function.
When the air-pressure system has reached the
set pressure, the air dryer will send a pressure
signal back to the compressor.
In the compressor a plunger operates two
valves, which connect the inlet and exhaust
valve inside the compressor.
The compressed air is then constantly pumped
from one cylinder to the other.
This energy-saving function has a positive effect
on the engine efficiency.
If the controller switches off to fill up the
air-pressure system, the plunger will move the
two valves into their initial position, thus making
it possible for the compressor to supply
pressure again.
