Air starters

A17

The type A17 air starter is generally used for starting internal combustion engines of an approximate rating of up to 300 kW (400 HP), although the suitability depends, in practice, on the engine capacity, number of cylinders and the ratio of the driving pinion to the flywheel ring gear.

A27LP

The new model A27LP air starter is intended to start diesel or gas engines of an approximate power range of 220-1100 kW (300-1475 HP), although its suitability depends on the engine displacement and the ratio between the engine’s ring gear and starter’s pinion.

The A27LP model is a pre-engaged type starter with start overrunning safety integrated and lubrication-free. This new model provides the well know advantages of Gali starters due to its reliability in the harshest environments and its high starting torque.

The A27LP type is designed to work at low air pressure installations maintaining the traditional Gali’s rotors technology. They are ideal for new installations as well as to easily retrofit existing installations with problematic vane and turbine starters. The A27LP starters are available for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation and are successfully used in Generating Sets, Motor-Pump Sets, Marine Propulsion & Auxiliary Engines, Industrial Engines, Locomotives, Forklift Truck Engines, Bulldozers, Offshore-Sea Platform, Nuclear & Power Plants, Mines.

SLOW TURNING STARTING SYSTEM

GALI Slow Turning is the best solution to prevent engine water stroke due to water or oil leakage inside the cylinders. Saving cost and problems to operators and final costumers.

The working concept

Initial turning stage at low speed to check for anomalies. If any adverse conditions are found, the starting sequence is stopped. If not, Gali Starter will accelerate the engine to start it.

It consists of a variable torque supplying from the starter to the engine.

• The starter will stop giving torque when the set point slow turn speed is reached and will provide torque again when the speed starts to decrease below the set point.

• This will result in a constant speed rotation of the engine.

• The system’s input is the engine speed from an inductive sensor (delivered) placed on the engine ring gear.

S30

The type S30 air starter has been developed to start internal combustion Diesel and gas engines, Diesel and Gas, of a power range from 750 to 3200 kW (1020 to 4350 HP), although the suitability depends, in practice, on the engine capacity, number of cylinders and the ratio of the driving pinion to the flywheel ring gear.

S38

The type S38 air starter belongs to the new generation of GALI Starters, to cover all the range of engine powers.

The S38 is intended to start internal combustion Diesel and Gas engines of a power range from 900 to 3800 kW (1210 to 5100 HP), although the suitability depends, in practice, on the engine capacity, number of cylinders and the ratio of the driving pinion to the flywheel ring gear.

The S38 is usually supplied with pinion and flange and does not need external lubrication. It is lubrication free.

They are successfully used in: power plant gent sets, propulsion and auxiliary marine engines, emergency generating sets, motor pumps, etc.

A47

The type A47 air starter is generally used for starting internal combustion engines of an approximate range of ratings of 1100 to 4400 kW (1500 to 6000 HP), although the suitability engine depends, in practice, on the engine capacity, number of cylinders and the ratio of the driving pinion to the flywheel ring gear.

The A47 is usually supplied with pinion and flange and does not need external lubrication. It is lubrication free.

Its high torque and resistance to the adverse atmosphere conditions (saline, humidity, extreme temperature,…) make him the most reliable starter to install in: power plant gent sets, gas turbines, propulsion engines, heavy-duty diesel engines.

Also available in ‘Z’ version to fit in reduce spaces.

A48

With the A48, GALI continues to increase the torque of its starters, now covering more powerful engines. This increase in the torque is achieved by means of an increase in internal reduction. The A48 air starter, with its 640 Nm torque, is generally used for starting internal combustion engines -Diesel, Gas or Fuel- of power ratings from 3.500 to 7.000 kW (4.750 to 9.520 HP).

Its ‘Z’ the shaped structure allows the incorporations of this starter in engines with complex and reduced side spaces. All the traditionally advantages offer by GALI, with its air rotors and lubrication-free starters, are maintained in this model, such are: pre-engagement system, high acceleration speed, lightweight…
