The starting air consumption stated in technical data is for a successful start. During start the
main starting valve is kept open until the engine starts, or until the max. time for the starting
attempt has elapsed. A failed start can consume two times the air volume stated in technical
data. If the ship has a class notation for unattended machinery spaces, then the starts are to
be demonstrated.
The required total starting air vessel volume can be calculated using the formula:
where:
total starting air vessel volume [m
3
]
V
R
=
normal barometric pressure (NTP condition) = 0.1 MPa
p
E
=
air consumption per start [Nm
3
] See Technical data
V
E
=
required number of starts according to the classification society
n =
maximum starting air pressure = 3 MPa
p
Rmax
=
minimum starting air pressure = See Technical data
p
Rmin
=
NOTE
The total vessel volume shall be divided into at least two equally sized starting air
vessels.
