GENERAL INFORMATION This manual provides information for servicing, disassembly, and re-assembly of the TD! Turbotwin 30-| air starter. If there are questions not answered by this manual, please contact your local TD! distributor or dealer for assistance. Iilustrations and exploded views are provided to aid in disassembly and reassembly. ‘The TDI Turbotwin 730-1 engine air starter is specially designed for starting today's automated, low-emission engines. The Turbotwin uses aerodynamic speed control, eliminating the need for a mechanical automatic trip valve (ATV) to control starter motor speed, ‘The Turbotwin T3041 air starter is suited to operate within a wide range of inlet pressures and ambient ‘temperatures. This starter is designed for operation with either compressed air or natural gas. ‘The robust turbine motor design in the Turbotwin T30-1 air starter has _no rubbing parts, and is therefore tolerant of hard and liquid contamination in the supply ‘gas with almost no adverse affects. The motor is well adapted to running on “sour” natural gas. ‘As with all TDI air starter products, there are no rubbing parts so there is no lubrication required. This eliminates failures due to lubricator problems, the ‘expense of installing and maintaining the system, and the messy and hazardous oil film around the starter ‘exhaust. The starter is factory grease packed for the life of the starter so it requires no maintenance. NOTE. [Throughout this manual, the term “air is used to] Jdonate the starter drive medium. Unless otherwise stated, ‘ai means compressed air or natural gas. Please review the rest of this manual before attempting to provide service to the TD! Turbotwin T304 air starter, 1.2 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES Throughout this manual, certain types of information will be highlighted for your attention WARNING - used where injury to personnel or damage to equipment is likely. Publication 3-701 Issued Dec 11,1998 TDI TuRBOTWIN™ From TECH DEVELOPMENT, INC. CAUTION - used where there is the possibility of damage to equipment. NOTE - use to point out special interest Information. 1.3 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION ‘The Turbotwin T3041 air starter is powered by a pair of axial flow turbines coupled to @ simple planetary gear reduction set. The 730-1 air starter incorporate an inertia bendix drive coupled to the starter gearbox drive train to provide a means of disengaging. the pinion from the engine's ring gear. ‘The high horsepower ofthe turbine air motor combined with the planetary gear speed reducer resutts in a very efficient and compact unit. The Turbotwin T30-! air starter can be used over a wide range of drive pressures from 30 psig (2 BAR) fo 120 psig (8 BAR) ‘and is sultable for operation on either air or natural gas. ‘The T30-1 weighs approximately 29 pounds (13KG) ‘and _ is capable of delivering over 21 HP (16 kW) of ‘cranking power at the maximum pressure of 120 psig (8 BAR). 1.4 INSTALLATION AND SERVICE Itis important to property install and operate the T30-1 air starter to receive the full benefits of the turbine drive advantages. It must be installed in accordance with the instructions provided by Tech Development, Inc. (TDN). WARNING: Failure to properly install the starter or failure to] loperate it according to instructions provided byTDI may | result in damage to the starter or engine, or cause| [personal injury. DO NOT OPERATE THIS STARTER| UNLESS IT IS PROPERLY ATTACHED TO ANI ENGINE, Repair technicians or service organizations without turbine starter experience should not attempt to repair this starter until they receive factory approved training from TDI, or its representatives. Proper operation and repair of your TDI Turbotwin will assure continuous reliability and superior performance for many years.
