The Basic Knowledge About Engine Starter

The engine is the source of all the powers and brings energy to modern society. The engine needs to turn over by the outside power so that it can operate under its own power. Spring starter is a mechanical engine starter can effectively start a diesel engine without external power.

Firstly, we look into

What’s the engine starter

Engine starter is the device for internal combustion engines by offering initial rotation, widely used for diesel engines, aircraft, portable generators, etc.

The types of engine starter

The main Engine starter types include pneumatic starter, hydraulic starter, electric starter, spring starter.

Pneumatic

Pneumatic engine starters also known as air starters are used for diesel engines, gas turbines, and some reciprocating engines. The compressor compresses the air for storage and they rely on the compressed air as energy for starting. They have a high power-to-weight ratio and high speed acceleration.

Hydraulic

Hydraulic engine starters are suitable for marine propulsion engines, diesel engines, and hydraulic fracturing equipment for oil & gas exploration. It is a motor that uses hydraulic energy to drive a diesel flywheel ring gear to achieve the ignition of a diesel engine. It can be used extremely cold weather, offshore and explosion-proof occasions.

Electric

Electric engine starters are the traditional starter motor. They are powered by batteries and electric convert to mechanical energy for start the ring gear on the engine’s flywheel, usually used in cars, ships, construction equipment, etc.

Spring

spring start motors are the mechanical devices which can rotate hand crank energy to mechanical energy through the compressed disc springs for storage, the potential energy in the springs being released by tripping, the starter pinion rotating the engine flywheel ring gear for starting a diesel engine, mostly used in the emergency situations where the reliability is required.
