Overview
Starting air is the most reliability-critical circuit on board: typically around 30 bar and operated intermittently to charge bottles. Piston machines outperform screw machines at high pressure and low flow, which is why starting air is normally piston-based. ZFC uses a single-cylinder arrangement — compact and light — suiting small vessels, workboats and auxiliary-engine bottle charging.
Key features
3.0 MPa output for intermittent bottle charging.
Small footprint and low weight.
No cooling water needed, flexible onboard layout.
Built and surveyed to classification rules.
