A spring starter is a mechanical system that gives the diesel engine hand crank mechanical energy storage start and crank functions. To ensure the emergency start of the engine under a black start condition. The turning gear is used for pre-lubrication, inspection and debugging of the unit. It does not require additional energy like electricity while can start the engine with pure manpower. It can be adapted to diesel engines with a maximum displacement of 50L.
Applicable occasions: Petroleum, chemical industry, ocean, field and other fire emergency places, to ensure the reliability of the starting of important engines in this place. It is also used for slow cranking of diesel generator sets, which is convenient for routine inspection, maintenance and adjustment. So what is the essential difference between a 50L starter and a small starter? This article will guide you to understand the difference.
Comparison Between 20-50L and 13-16L Spring Starter
With almost the same functions, while because of their different sizes, applications of them are different, let’s see how’s the difference between them.
| 20-50L spring starter | 13-16L spring starter | |
| Mounting flange (SAE # standard) | 1/2/3 | 1/2/3 |
| Diesel engine discharge(L/c) | 4.3&6 | 2.6&6 |
| 3.2&12 | 2.1&8 | |
| 2.5&16 | 2.0&12 | |
| Maximum driving torque(Nm) | 240-360 | 167 |
| Maximum cranking torque(Nm) | 100-110 | 100 |
| Weight(KG) | 46-54 | 26 |
| Rotating circle number (Circle) | 30-34 | 2+15 |
Features of 13-16L Spring Starter
It is made to make up for the lack of electric starting (battery needs maintenance) to ensure that the engine can still start normally when the battery is lacking power. Compared with other starting methods, the spring energy storage starter is a self-contained system without any external energy sources (such as batteries, cables, gas cylinders, gas pipes, hydraulic generators, etc.), a backup starting device without maintenance, and a natural explosion-proof structure.
Features of 50L Spring Starter
This is the largest spring starter in the world so far, it’s from Chongqing starting power unit co, ltd, this spring starter has broken through the world record for spring starter. With super strong starting ability, a spring starting solution for 20L-50L large displacement engines, such as diesel generator, marine emergency generator set, lifeboat and explosion-proof generator set, mobile rescue vehicle, and so on. The starting range is flexible. For emergency starting of large units, the cost is much lower than other starting methods such as hydraulics. And it can be repeated many times to start.
Choose A Spring Starter According to Your Requirement
If your Engine is in the size between 20L to 50L, and your machine would work in some far place, your best choice is Cqstart 50L Spring Starter.
Cqstart Machinery’s breakthrough and innovative product for spring start, that cqstart has breakthrough Spring start group system: world record for a spring start. With the super-strong starting ability, a spring starting solution for 20L-50L large displacement engines. The combined start of multiple bodies adopts different combination schemes according to the size of the engine.
If your engine is in the size below 20L, and your work circumstance might encounter some unsure power short, or some unknown cons like that, you might choose cqstart Spring Starter between 0-20L. The company has an R & D team leading by a senior engineer, with a number of national patents, and a strict manufacturing assembly process, maintaining a leading position in product quality and technology.
