Compressor Water Inlet Tube Cummins 3287212 | 4980465
High-durability water inlet tube designed to optimize air compressor cooling and engine efficiency in Cummins ISB and QSB series engines.
Description
Efficient Cooling for Heavy-Duty Air Compressors
The Compressor Water Inlet Tube (Part #3287212) is a critical component in the cooling arrangement of Cummins heavy-duty engines. Designed to facilitate the precise delivery of coolant to the air compressor, this tube helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing thermal stress and ensuring long-term component reliability.
Performance and Efficiency
By regulating the temperature within the compressor section, this inlet tube contributes to increased air density. Denser air allows for more efficient combustion, which can lead to improved power output and better fuel economy. It serves as a vital conduit in the engine’s thermal management system, protecting the compressor from overheating during intensive operation.
Engine Compatibility
This Cummins water inlet tube is engineered for a precise fit and seamless integration with the following engine models:
- ISB / ISD 6.7 CM2150 SN
- ISBE CM2150 / CM800
- ISBE4 CM850
- QSB 6.7 CM850 (CM2850)
Key Features
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade materials to withstand high pressure and extreme engine temperatures.
- Precise Engineering: Ensures consistent coolant flow and a leak-free connection within the pneumatic cooling circuit.
- Reliability: Reduces maintenance requirements by protecting the compressor from heat-related damage.
