The revolutionary new WABCO two stage compressor significantly reduces the problems of oil degradation and oxidation in compressed air. Using technology new to the automotive field it splits the compression process into two operations, with sufficient inter-cooling. The result is a peak temperature of approximately 250°C, producing appreciably improved air quality and providing significant operating advantages.
