English term or phrase: gas booster
XXX focused — not on the problem — but on finding a solution to repairing **the gas booster** (used in the cleaning system for CV Joints) in Plant 17. Previously, a water-fed cooler, which had stopped working, cooled the gas booster. To get the cleaning system up and running, XXX's idea was to salvage an air-cooled, steel-fin style cooler from Plant 10, which was no longer in use.

TIA!
