IfcCompressorType

Definition from IAI: The element type IfcCompressorType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of a compressor and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define a compressor specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

> NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

A compressor type is used to define the common properties of a Compressor that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. A compressor is a device that compresses a fluid typically used in a refrigeration circuit. Compressor types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcCompressorType are represented by instances of IfcFlowMovingDevice or its subtypes.
