La vue éclatée complète: Compresseur d'air FAW pour tracteur CA4251P66K24T1A3E5

Welcome to the comprehensive technical guide for the Compresseur d'air FAW (Partie no. 3509010-91W), a critical safety component on the FAW Jiefang CA4251P66K24T1A3E5 6×4 tracteur semi-remorque diesel. This assembly is the heart of the vehicle’s pneumatic system.

In a heavy-duty tractor, the air compressor does more than just power accessories; it is the source of stopping power for the air brake system, a key component for the air-ride suspension, and the power behind the air-actuated gearbox components. The reliability of the Compresseur d'air FAW est, therefore, non-negotiable.

This guide is designed for professional technicians, maintenance managers, et spécialistes des pièces détachées. Nous déconstruirons l'ensemble Compresseur d'air FAW mounting and drive assembly into its smallest serviceable units, including the main assembly, its drive gear, critical seals, and mounting fasteners.

Composant principal: Ensemble compresseur d'air (3509010-91W)

The main component in this diagram is the ‘Air Compressor Assembly’ (3509010-91W). This is the parent unit that is typically replaced as a complete assembly during a major failure. This is not a simple, belt-driven accessory; it is a heavy-duty, engine-integrated pump. On this FAW model, le Compresseur d'air FAW is a reciprocating piston-type pump, likely a robust single-cylinder or twin-cylinder design, engineered for high-volume, continuous-duty operation.

Its operation is fundamental. It draws in filtered air, compresses it to a high pressure (typically over 120 psi), and then delivers it to an air governor, which in turn fills the vehicle’s primary and secondary air tanks. This assembly is designed to be both liquid-cooled and pressure-lubricated. This means it has internal passages that connect directly to the engine’s cooling and oil systems, which is why the associated seals are so critical.

The head of the Compresseur d'air FAW contains a set of reed valves or poppet valves for intake and exhaust, which are precision-engineered to handle the high temperatures and pressures. Au fil du temps, carbon buildup or mechanical wear can cause these valves to leak, leading to a drop in efficiency, slow air buildup, or the compressor “passing oil” into the air system. When such a failure is diagnosed, replacing the entire Compresseur d'air FAW assembly is often the most reliable and time-efficient repair.

Système d'entraînement: Air Compressor Driven Gear (1006047-81D)

Unlike on a passenger car, le Compresseur d'air FAW is not driven by a rubber belt. The power required to generate that much compressed air is substantial, and the reliability standard is much higher. This assembly is gear-driven, directly from the engine’s internal timing gear train. The ‘Air Compressor Driven Gear’ (1006047-81D) is the key component for this power transfer.

This gear is a heavy-duty, hardened steel component, precisely machined with helical-cut teeth. These helical teeth mesh with a drive gear inside the engine’s timing case, providing a positive, high-torque, slip-proof connection. This gear-driven design is exceptionally reliable and maintenance-free compared to a belt, but it also means its installation is more complex.

This gear is pressed or bolted onto the compressor’s own crankshaft. When installing a new Compresseur d'air FAW, this gear must be transferred, or a new one installed. The condition of this gear is critical; any chipping or excessive wear on the teeth can introduce metal debris into the engine’s timing case, leading to catastrophic engine failure. It is a vital serviceable component, representing the single point of power input for the entire pneumatic system.

The Critical Seal: Joint torique (Q734B15000265)

The parts list identifies a single ‘O-ring Seal’ (Q734B15000265). It is impossible to overstate the importance of this one, small component. This seal is the primary interface between the Compresseur d'air FAW and the engine block. Given that the compressor is liquid-cooled and pressure-lubricated, this O-ring is a multi-function seal of critical importance.

This single o-ring is responsible for sealing multiple passages simultaneously as the compressor is bolted to the engine.

1. Oil Sealing: Le Compresseur d'air FAW requires a constant supply of high-pressure engine oil to lubricate its crankshaft, connecting rod bearing, et piston. This o-ring seals the oil feed passage from the engine block to the compressor’s oil inlet. If this seal fails, the compressor will be starved of oil and will seize in minutes, or it will create a massive external oil leak.
2. Coolant Sealing: Compressing air generates an immense amount of heat. To prevent overheating, le Compresseur d'air FAW has a water jacket that is part of the engine’s cooling system. This o-ring seals the coolant passage, preventing external coolant leaks and, more importantly, preventing coolant from entering the oil system.
3. Air/Crankcase Sealing: The seal also prevents compressed air (from a potential internal leak) or crankcase pressure from escaping at the mounting flange.

This o-ring is made of a special, high-temperature, oil-resistant material (like Viton) designed to withstand the harsh environment of a diesel engine. C'est un “one-time-use” partie. Whenever the Compresseur d'air FAW is removed for any reason, this seal *must* be replaced. Re-using an old, compressed, or heat-hardened o-ring is a guarantee for a leak. This single part, though costing very little, is essential for a reliable repair.

Attaches: Hex Flange Bolts (Q1841035, Q1841025)

The final components on the list are the fasteners that physically secure the Compresseur d'air FAW to the engine’s gear case. The list calls for two different part numbers: four units of ‘Hex Flange Bolt, Coarse Rod (Modèle standard)’ (Q1841035) and one unit of (Q1841025). Ce 4+1 pattern is typical for mounting heavy, high-vibration accessories.

The four Q1841035 bolts are likely the main mounting bolts, while the single Q1841025 bolt is likely a different length, perhaps used for a location with a different flange thickness or for attaching a support bracket. These are not standard hardware-store bolts. They are ‘Flange Bolts’, which means the head has an integrated washer. This design distributes the clamping force over a wider area, preventing the bolt head from digging into the aluminum or cast-iron compressor flange and creating a secure, vibration-resistant joint.

These are also ‘Standard Type’ coarse rod bolts, indicating a specific (and likely high) tensile strength (Par exemple, Classe 8.8 ou 10.9) designed to handle the constant, hammering vibration of both the diesel engine and the reciprocating compressor. Using the correct, factory-specified bolts and tightening them to the precise torque specification is the only way to ensure the heavy Compresseur d'air FAW does not vibrate loose or crack its mounting flange.
