Kolbenmotor, Direktantrieb
Explanation:
Engine-type meint hier wahrscheinlich einen typischen Verbrennungsmotor und steht im Gegensatz zu einem Synchronmotor (der in einer anderen Frage aufgetaucht war). Alternativ könnte man auch an Direktantrieb (im Vergleich zu einem Antrieb mit Getriebe oder über Riemen) denken.

Mangels weiterem Kontext aber reine Spekulation und mehr als Denkanstoß gedacht.

Explanation:
etwas spekulativ:

ein Anlagenmotor hat gewöhnlicherweise niedrige Drehzahl und wenigsten ein gemeinsames Lager mit dem Kompressor
