Starter systems

Development of Experimental Intermetailic Forming Starter Systems for the Ml Smoke (HC) Canister , AFATL-TR-71-136 (1971)... 

The synthesised polyester polyols obtained by propoxylation of different starter systems having hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, are in fact ether-ester polyols. 

In the manufacture of cheddar cheese the milk is placed in large vats when delivered by the dairymen to the factory. It is then ripened to a proper extent in these vats by holding it at a temperature between 80° to 86° F. until a test shows that a proper acidity has developed. In some cheese factories the starter system is used. 

The batteries used for the emergency supply should be suitable for this purpose. Motor vehicle batteries are not suitable for emergency lighting applications, except in the starter system of motor-driven generators. The fuel supply to a... 

Operational Behavior Demonstrated in a Standby Power Plant. The plant consists of a diesel engine, the attached generator, and a number of auxiliary systems. Figure 5.25 shows the general plan of the installation. Important auxiliary systems of the plant are the fuel supply system, the lubrication system, the coolant circuits, the generator excitation system, the starter system, the air supply, and the circuitry. 

The most frequently used starter systems are electric motors and air starters. The electric starters are usually 12- or 24-V dc cranking motors. The higher voltage is preferred on larger engines because of the high power required for annunciator controls and/or power circuit-...

The starter system can be electrical (Class I, Division 2), pneumatic, hydraulic, spring recoil, or inertia. It may be acceptable to use an electric starter motor that... 

System rehabihty is improved by providing alternative means for performing the same task. For example, automobiles were equipped with hand cranks even though they had electric starters. This back-up equipment was provided because at that time starters were unrehable. In contemporary system design, factors such as added cost, weight, and space may prohibit the use of redundant systems. 

Electrical. The plant electrical system is sometimes more important than the steam system. The electrical system consists of the utihty company s entry substation, any ia-plant generating equipment, primary distribution feeders, secondary substations and transformers, final distribution cables, and various items of switch-gear, protective relays, motor starters, motors, lighting control panels, and capacitors to adjust power factor. 

Transportation end uses are expected to become a significant outlet. Products under development include an engine valve cover, as are various housings such as those for od pumps, water pumps, starter motors, and certain transmission parts. These end uses employ PPS because it resists high temperatures and is also chemically resistant. Fuel system parts can employ the excellent chemical resistance of PPS, replacing nylon, if alcohol-based fuels are adopted to reduce emissions. 

Conveyor installations maybe permanent or a combination of permanent and portable. The latter kind is often mounted on a bulk-deliveiy vehicle, which permits fast unloading into the customers silo by the carrier without effort or equipment from the customer. Controls range from simple motor starters and hand-connected hoses to sophisticated, microprocessor-elec tropueumatic control systems. 

Package-Handling Systems The control of packagehandling systems may depend on simple motor starters, on interlocked relays with photocell control, or on computers. Sohd-state controls are finding much application in the last two systems. 

Direct-Current Motor Control Control for dc motors runs the gamut from simple manual line starters to elaborate regulating systems. Only the starting problems are considered here since variable-speed drives and regulating systems are discussed elsewhere. 

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) A microcomputer-based solid-state control system which receives inputs from user-supplied control devices such as switches and sensors, implements them in a precise pattern determined by instructions stored in the PLC memory, and provides outputs for control or user-supplied devices such as relays and motor starters. 

But where accurate speed control is the process requirement, static controllers, termed slip recovery systems (Section 6.16.3) are recommended, which in addition to exercising extremely accurate speed control, also conserve slip losses. Static drives are discussed in Chapter 6. Below we will describe a procedure to determine the value of resistance, its steps and switching and control schemes for these steps for a rotor resistance starter. 

A starter or contactor with manual push-button or thermostatic operation to start and stop the fan normally controls simple systems. More complex systems that incorporate components that need control or monitoring are normally operated from purpose-built central control panels. The most common functions provided are fan motor stop, start and speed control, damper control, filter-condition indication and heater battery control. For optimum control, the system should be automatically controlled from thermostats or other sensors and a timeswitch.
