This manual provides instructions for the installation and
operation of the TDI

distributor or dealer for assistance.
The T100-V starters are turbine driven starters with a
pre-engaged starter drive. The
T100-V
starters have
applications ranging from 1800 CID (30 Liters) on diesel
engines and up to 18000 CID (300 Liters) on gas
engines. The
T100-V
models are suited to operate within
a wide range of inlet pressures and ambient
temperatures. The engine size and parasitic loading will
determine the exact minimum pressure that will assure
reliable cranking.
The
T100-V
starters P/N: T112-60082-001 is designed
for operation with compressed air. Materials used are
compatible with marine environments. Small amounts of
foreign matter or liquid in the air supply will not adversely
affect
T100-V
starters. As with all TDI starters, no
lubrication is required in the air supply.
Please review the rest of this manual before installing
the
T100-V
air starter.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
Certain types of information are highlighted in this
manual for your attention:
WARNING
- used where injury to personnel or
damage to the equipment is possible.
CAUTION
- used where there is the possibility of
damage to the equipment.
NOTE
- used to point out special interest
information.
NOTE
Throughout this manual, the term “air” is used to
designate the starter drive medium.
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The T100-V features three basic subassemblies: a
unique two stage turbine motor section, an offset/spur
gear assembly and a pre-engage drive assembly.
The two stage motor section features aerodynamic
speed control. This aerodynamic speed control helps
protect the
T100-V
starter from damage caused by
starter motor over speed. In addition, a specially
designed motor housing module and low-mass rotors
provide fail-safe operation.
The
T100-V
employs 9.25:1 ratio spur gearbox. This low
gear ratio allows the turbine motor to spin at low speeds
for long bearing life. At a typical 3000 rpm pinion speed,
the turbine is rotating at a low 27750 rpm.
A reliable pre-engaged drive delivers the torque to the
pinion. The pinion is translated out to engage the
engine's ring gear via the starter’s engagement piston.
Compressed air is used to power the
T100-V
through the
inlet port. The air is expanded through the first stage
nozzle. The high velocity gas impinges on the first stage
rotor to yield torque to the gearbox through momentum
exchange. The air is further directed through the second
stage stators which impart additional torque to the
second stage rotor.
1.2 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
The starter nameplate which is attached to the turbine
housing contains the following information: model
number, serial number, part number, direction of rotation
and the maximum rated operating pressure.
The directions of rotation are either right hand or left
hand rotation as shown in Figure 1. Right Hand rotation
is defined as clockwise rotation as viewed from the
pinion end of the starter, and Left Hand rotation is
counter clockwise rotation viewed from the pinion end of
the starter.
