Zusammenfassung:	An aspect of the invention refers to a system for cleaning an external vehicle-mounted sensor surface. The system comprises an air nozzle (8) arranged to discharge air onto a sensor surface (3); an air pump (5) comprising a fluid inlet (19), an air outlet (21), an air-fluid interface (14, 16) and a variable volume compression chamber (10) communicating with the air outlet; an air flow control device (6) communicating with the air nozzle and the air outlet for controlling the flow of air therethrough; and a liquid pump (22) communicating with the fluid inlet to supply a flow of pressurized liquid such that the volume of the compression chamber varies to generate a volume of pressurized air with an absolute pressure below 10 bar.
