The Best Marine Diesel Generator Starter PLAN B-Spring Starter

In recent years, diesel generator sets have become more and more commonly used in marine power plants. In addition to being a conventional unit that provides marine electricity, it is also increasingly used for electric propulsion. Under normal circumstances, the starter of a diesel engine is an electric starter or a hydraulic starter. These starters need to have certain starting conditions, but in some special cases, the starting conditions cannot be reached, then the diesel engine cannot be started. Therefore, like a ship drifting on the sea all year round, a backup starter is needed, and it is best that this starter can be used normally at all times. Therefore, the spring starter is used as a starter for diesel engines started by manpower, Is sought after by people.

What is a Marine Diesel Engine?

Marine diesel engines have high thermal efficiency, good economy, easy start, and strong adaptability to various types of ships. Therefore, it is now often used as the propulsion power of ships. By the 1950s, diesel engines almost completely replaced steam engines in newly built ships. Marine diesel engines have become the main power for civil ships, small and medium-sized ships, and conventional submarines. Marine diesel engines can be divided into main engines and auxiliary engines according to their roles in ships. The main engine is used as the propulsion power of the ship, and the auxiliary engine is used to drive the generator, air compressor, or water pump.

What are the Commonly Used Diesel Engine Starters?

Under normal circumstances, the starter of a diesel engine is an air starter. The term "air start" generally refers to an engine starting system. The main component of the system is the air starter, from which it got its name. An air starter is a mechanical device that uses the energy stored in compressed air or gas to generate the power and torque required to start the engine. More specifically, the air starter is designed for use with a reciprocating engine equipped with ring gear connected to a flywheel.

But the use of air starters adds significant complexity to the engine because the cylinder head must have an additional valve in each cylinder to allow air to enter for starting, and the required control system. This increased complexity and cost limits the use of air starters in very large and expensive reciprocating engines.

Is There a Diesel Engine Starter that can be used under Any Conditions and is not Complicated?

Regarding this question, the answer is "Of course there is". As a traditional starter manufacturer, the Cqstart Spring Starter we provide can be used under any conditions. Of course, the way to use it is also very simple. It only needs the handle of the human shaker to accumulate the force of the spring and finally release the stored energy to start the diesel engine smoothly.

The spring starter is a device that gives the diesel engine hand crank mechanical energy storage start function. It is the best starting solution for "black start" or "paralyzed boat start". It is mostly used in emergencies such as military, rescue, and fire fighting (usually called: mechanical energy storage starter, hand crank starter, spring motor, mechanical starter, hand-crank car starter, etc.).

Features of Spring Starter

1: The spring starter must be able to meet the cold start requirements of the diesel engine, and be able to complete the start task of the full load state excellently.

2: Starter installation needs to comply with SAE standards

3: The direction of the rotating shaft head can be adjusted to the best manpower rotation angle

4: It can adapt to the needs of different diesel engines. The superb material processing technology makes the spring starter have a long service life and can adapt to different working environments. In severe cold areas, an auxiliary starting device for the engine is required.
