 STARTING SYSTEM

In the case of a turbine engine, the starter must

turn the engine
up to a speed that provides enough airflow
through the engine
for fuel to be ignited. Then, the starter must
continue to help
the engine accelerate to a self-sustaining speed.
Turbine
engine starters have a critical role in starting of
the engine.

 AIR TURBINE STARTER
Air turbine starters are
designed to provide
high starting
torque from a small,
lightweight source. The
typical air
turbine starter weighs
from one-fourth to one-
half as much
as an electric starter
capable of starting the
same engine. It
is capable of developing
considerable more
torque than the
electric starter.
 COMBUSTION TURBINE
STARTER

combustion turbine starter is basically the

same as the air turbine starter differ on gas
expansion in use
 AIR IMPINGEMENT STARTER

A type of starting
system for gas
turbine engines in
the which the initial
rotation to the
compressor is
produced
bycompressed water.
The compressed air is
supplied by either a
running engine or a
ground power unit
and is directed
ontothe centrifugal
compressor or
