When you turn on the engine, the battery powers the pistons in the cylinder up and down. The pistons push the air through the cylinders, into a combustion chamber where it is compressed. Compression forces the molecules in the air to move faster, which naturally heats the air. Fuel is then injected into the hot,. .
While the above process occurs, additional fuel is delivered by the system. The fuel is pumped from the fuel tank, passing through filters, a higher pressurization pump,. .
During the ignition process, air is also pumped to the cylinders. On some engines, this air passes through a simple air cleaner en route.
[pdf] Back to the startup systems. Star/delta (Y-D) is the most common system deployed in air compressors, or in industrial machines in general. It's simple, easy to understand, easy to troubleshoot and doesn't require expensive electronics. With Y-D starter we take advantage of the lower per-winding voltage when. .
Here we see a typical setup of a star-delta starter: *Typical setup of a star-delta starter. There are 6 cables going to the motor (white, at the bottom) .
The system always consists of 3 main contactors (big relais) in a typical configuration that is easy to recognize. The 3 contactors are: 1. Main/line contactor 2. Delta contactor 3. Star contactor
