Most internal combustion engines use DC starters because of their compact structure, simple operation, and easy maintenance. But if there is no electricity, the DC starter cannot start the diesel engine smoothly.
According to statistics, nearly 80% of the failures of the backup engine are caused by the lack of power in the battery. However, it is not convenient to find a spare battery in many cases, and there is even no time to find a spare battery in many emergencies. Therefore, we need to equip a backup starting device to start the diesel engine quickly.
At present, under any circumstances, the only starter that can make the diesel engine start quickly is a Mechanical spring starter
What is the Mechanical Spring Starter?
The Mechanical spring starter is a device that gives the diesel engine hand crank mechanical energy storage start function. The mechanical energy, which is rotated many times by manpower, is stored with a spring as a medium and released at one time to start a larger engine.
Mechanical Spring Starter is also known as Energy storage starter. Energy storage starter is a new, reliable, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly diesel engine starting device. The structure of this starter is mechanical. The start of the diesel engine can be completed by hand, without the aid of other energy sources.
The energy storage mechanism is the main mechanism of the starter. The main parts are the disc spring and the main shaft. Together with the matching pants, they fulfill the following functions. One is to convert the aforementioned human input torque into an axial force. This force compresses The disc spring group stores energy; the second is to convert the potential energy of the spring into the torque output through the main shaft to form the power that drives the rotation of the diesel engine. The operation of the energy storage starter is simple. When the diesel engine needs to be started, first ensure that the diesel oil supply of the diesel engine fuel supply system is normal, pull the starter lift lever to make the release mechanism in the state of energy storage preparation, and use the crank handle to rotate the starter crankshaft in the specified direction 4- After 6 laps, reach the required energy storage state, and then push the release lever in the indicated direction to complete the start of the diesel engine.
Which Areas can Mechanical Spring Starters be used In?
You may think that spring starters are not very useful, after all, they are not as common as DC starters. But in fact, Mechanical Spring Starter can perform well in many different environments.
The following are the three most suitable scenarios for using spring starters.
The Best Starter for Emergency Rescue
When a disaster occurs, when there is no power supply and no replaceable backup battery, how to ensure the smooth start of the diesel engine? Moreover, most of the units used for emergency rescue are mobile, generally in a warehouse sealed state, relative lack of battery maintenance, emergency dispatched in distress, often unable to start the state, it is difficult to find a backup power supply in an emergency environment. At this time, the engine can only be started manually through the spring starter, and this method can solve the problem of the diesel engine being unable to start.
Quick Start Ship’s Engine
According to the requirements of the SOLAS Convention on ships, the ship should have measures to ensure that the machinery on the ship can be changed from the state of being stopped to the state of continuing to work without external assistance. In this case, it is necessary to start the emergency generator set to generate electricity for the ship. The Mechanical spring starter is for the quick start of the emergency generator set.
Start the Fire Pump Safely
In the case of a power outage emergency in a fire accident, the fire fighting unit needs to be able to start normally and drive the water pump to extinguish the fire. The requirements for the reliability of diesel engines are very high. Once there is any reason for the diesel engine to fail to start successfully, a spring start is required as a backup plan to ensure the reliability of starting.
