Atlas Copco HGR Cargo Compressor
The Atlas Copco HGR Cargo Compressor is an oil‑lubricated piston compressor specifically engineered for reliquefaction of boil‑off gas on LNG (and LPG) carriers, delivering high‑pressure compression in a compact, ship‑ready package. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Cargo Compressor (Reliquefaction), and it is normally installed in the cargo machinery area, compressor room, manifold or cargo piping system according to the listed equipment. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to transfer, compress, contain or monitor liquefied-gas cargo and its vapour. Cargo compressors, hoses, manifolds and gas-detection systems have different functions, but all require compatible materials, gas-tight integrity and hazardous-area controls. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states capacity: 2-stage, 500 kW. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
