Starting operation
(average 25 to 40 Bar)
• Starting the compression ignition diesel engine required
total capacity normally 30 Bar or related to it requirement
with total capacity of the air bottle must generally be
sufficient to start 12 times consecutively of a reversible
engine and 6 time for non reversible engine.
• On generator starting air bottle system normally connected
to emergency air compressor driven by small engine or
manual operated
• Prior to starting and finished with engine, blow down or
blow true is taken to remove any condensate or residue in
cylinder through opened indicator cock in order to avoid
damage due to hydraulic lock

General usage
(4 to 7 Bar)
• Generally compressed air are used for any kind of tools which is
operated by compressed air to perform their duty such as drilling
machine, impact wrenches, hand grinder, lifting gear etc considered as
pneumatic tools.
• Some additional auxiliary or deck machinery operated by compressed
air such as Wilden pump, lifeboat davit etc
• Hydraulic jack for even tightening any of the studs now are commonly
used also use compressed air even some engine maker’s design fuel
injector testing using compressed air system to ensure the injectors
condition. Water Pressure Test too.
• A part from those usages, compressed air widely used for cleaning
purpose such as dust and cleaning at the narrow space in such
situation where brush and finger tips cannot be reach the place where
the cleaning should be made.
• Cleaning any dust from the electrical machinery e.g. alternator, motor
etc

Requirements
• Two starting air compressors must be fitted, of sufficient
total capacity to meet the engine requirements.
– Each compressor must be able to press up air receiver from 15 to
25 bar in thirty minutes
– Two air receivers must be provided
– Total air receiver capacity is to be sufficient for twelve starts of
reversible engines and six stars for non-reversible engine
• Additional one diesel driven or hand operated (or if
possible both) emergency air compressor must be fitted to
start auxiliary engines of a “dead ship”
• Safety valves or preferably bursting discs must be fitted on
the cooling water casing to give ample relief of pressure,
should an air cooling tube burst

Classification
• Compressor can be classified according to the
principle of compression as follow;
– Positive displacement compressor
– Dynamic compressor
• In addition some of special designed compressor
are used for specific purpose further defined by:
– The number of compression stages
– Method of cooling (air, water, oil)
– Drive method (motor, engine, steam, other)
– How they are lubricated (oil, oil-free)
– Packaged or custom-built
