Large Electric Compressor

The Large Electric Compressor (LEC) is an EV tier multiblock for compressing materials with electricity. The LEC is a direct upgrade from the singleblock compressor because it runs at 200% speed, only uses 90% of the EU/t normally required, and offers 2 parallels per voltage tier. The LEC is superseded by the Hot Isostatic Pressurization Unit in ZPM.

The LEC has no tiered components. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation of the machine. The input bus, input hatch, and output bus are all limited to the compression pipe casings on the sides of the structure. The remaining buses/hatches are limited to the electric compressor casings anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "glass" to specify the tier of the glass.

Structure

• Controller: Front bottom center
• 95-103 Electric Compressor Casing
• 45-61 Compression Pipe Casing
• 6 Any Tiered Glass
• 1+ Energy Hatch: Any electric compressor casing
• 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any electric compressor casing
• 1+ Input Bus: Any side pipe casing
• 0+ Input Hatch: Any side pipe casing
• 1+ Output Bus: Any side pipe casing

Wallsharing

LECs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, glass, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

The LEC is a direct upgrade from the singleblock compressor because it runs at 200% speed, only uses 90% of the EU/t normally required, and offers 2 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table.

The LEC is limited to basic compressor recipes. Those that say "Requires HIP Unit" in NEI (ie. superdense plates) require the Hot Isostatic Pressurization Unit or Pseudostable Black Hole Containment Field. Those that say "Requires Stabilized Black Hole" in NEI require the Pseudostable Black Hole Containment Field.
