Description

The Wabco 9505309000 Air Reservoir 30L is a critical component in heavy-duty air brake systems, storing compressed air to ensure reliable brake functionality. It's commonly used in commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks. This reservoir, with dimensions of 272 x 262 x 724 mm, maintains a consistent air supply for braking applications. This ensures optimal stopping power, improved safety, and adherence to OE specifications for dependable performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This reservoir, it’s basically a tank that holds compressed air. It’s a 30 – liter tank, so it holds a good amount. It receives air directly from your air compressor—that’s the pump that creates the compressed air. Then, it stores that air and supplies it to everything that needs it in your air brake system. It also helps regulate the air pressure, making sure everything operates smoothly. It's aluminum, so it’s lightweight but still very strong. In your vehicle, this is a key part of the air brake system, specifically. It's where the air gets stored to power your brakes, obviously. It also feeds air to other air – powered components like the air horn, and sometimes even things like suspension systems if you have an air suspension. Think of it as a central holding station for the air that makes your brakes work.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without a functioning air reservoir, your air brakes won’t work properly, plain and simple. It acts like a shield, ensuring you have enough air pressure available instantly when you need to stop. You’ll notice if this thing starts to fail – you’ll have delayed braking, or the brakes might not hold properly. That’s obviously a safety issue. Leaks are common, and you might hear hissing sounds. It’s one of those parts where it’s best to be proactive—replacing it before it fails completely is a lot smarter than dealing with brake problems on the road.
