Wabco 4324107200 Single Chamber Air Dryer Unloader

Description

The Wabco 4324107200 Single Chamber Air Dryer Unloader is a vital component in heavy-duty air brake systems, responsible for removing moisture and contaminants from compressed air before it reaches the air brake components. This unit is used in commercial vehicles and trailers to ensure consistent and reliable braking performance. The air dryer features a desiccant cartridge and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +65°C, offering robust performance in various environmental conditions. It maintains optimal air quality by operating with a calculated volume of 6.2801, a cut-out pressure of 12.5 bar, and a maximum operating pressure of 13.0 bar. Its dimensions are 149 x 164 x 257 mm, and it has M22 x 1.5 port threads for both inlet and outlet connections. This device is an OE specification product designed to meet stringent industry standards.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy really has one main job – it periodically releases the built – up air pressure in your air dryer system. It’s basically a valve that cycles open and closed. This purging action gets rid of water and oil that have accumulated in the system. It also helps maintain consistent air pressure. Some have a small filter as part of it too, just to catch some extra debris. It’s a key component of your air brake system, mostly found on larger vehicles like trucks, buses, and sometimes even RVs. The air compressor makes the air, but it also creates moisture. That moisture has to get removed because water and air brakes don’t mix well – it can cause corrosion, freezing in the winter, and just general system failure. The air dryer does the bulk of that work, and this unloader helps it do its job efficiently. It’s positioned right after the air dryer itself.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Look, air brakes are critical for stopping these bigger vehicles. If moisture gets into the lines, it can cause brake fade, meaning you’ll need more and more pressure to get the same stopping power. That’s obviously dangerous. The unloader prevents that buildup, keeping the air dry and the brakes responsive. You’ll notice if this part starts to fail, usually with longer brake engagement times or inconsistent air pressure readings on your gauge. It acts like a shield against corrosion and keeps everything running smoothly. If you're doing any brake work, it’s a good idea to check this part. You can find these pretty easily—we stock them at Fixparts Online, or most auto parts stores should have one.
