The flow moving device type IfcCompressorType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of compressors. The set of shared information may include:
- common properties with shared property sets
- common representations
- common materials
- common composition of elements
- common ports
It is used to define a compressor type specification indicating the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that product type. The IfcCompressorType may be declared within IfcProject or IfcProjectLibrary using IfcRelDeclares and may be exchanged with or without occurrences of the type. Occurrences of IfcCompressorType are represented by instances of IfcCompressor. Refer to the documentation at IfcCompressor for supported property sets, materials, composition, and ports.
Defines the type of compressor (e.g., hermetic, reciprocating, etc.).
