What is the STAR 200 LPAC?

The STAR 200 LPAC, referring to a Liquid Propulsion Auxiliary Compressor, is designed for applications that require efficient compression of gases, particularly in marine environments. As a rotary, single-screw water-flooded compressor, it operates by utilizing a single rotating screw that compresses the gas as it moves through the unit. The water-flooded aspect of its operation helps enhance efficiency and cooling, making it suitable for demanding engineering tasks where reliable air and gas handling is necessary.

This type of compressor is commonly used in systems where the management of pressure and flow is critical, aligning with the needs of various marine systems onboard vessels. The design features and operational characteristics of the STAR 200 LPAC make it particularly advantageous for applications where maintenance of pressure and effective gas transfer is required, which is not what other options suggest.
