A two-cylinder marine starting-air compressor at 3.0 MPa, 30–44 m³/h, for main and auxiliary starting systems on medium vessels.
VFC Marine Piston Air Compressor
A two-cylinder marine starting-air compressor at 3.0 MPa, 30–44 m³/h, for main and auxiliary starting systems on medium vessels.
Overview
VFC uses a two-cylinder arrangement to deliver higher capacity at the same pressure class, shortening bottle charging time for main and auxiliary starting systems on medium cargo ships, container vessels and workboats. The air-cooled design needs no cooling water and pairs with automatic start/stop control against bottle pressure.
Key features
30–44 m³/h for shorter charging times.
Meets 30 bar class starting-air requirements.
Start/stop on bottle pressure with less manual intervention.
Normally installed as a pair for availability.
