2. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   The gas turbine compressor required to start a J79 with impingement starting was sufficient to start two J79 engines simultaneously in a B-58 when using air turbine starters. [ 7 ] An ATS has its own turbine and gears to change its low torque and high speed to low speed and high torque at the engine mounting pad.

3. Compression release - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release

   Most small gasoline engines used in power equipment use an automatic compression release system of some kind, designed to reduce load on the starter motor or user manually starting the engine. The most common kind of small engine compression release uses a camshaft mounted mechanical lever that pushes the exhaust valve tappet slightly, venting ...

4. Aircraft engine starting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_starting

   Cutaway view of an air-start motor of a General Electric J79 turbojet. With air-start systems, gas turbine engine compressor spools are rotated by the action of a large volume of compressed air acting directly on the compressor blades or driving the engine through a small, geared turbine motor. These motors can weigh up to 75% less than an ...

5. NEMA size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_size

   NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) contactors and motor starters are rated by sizes. These sizes are grouped by rated current and power. [1] [2]

6. Bleed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

   Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...

7. Choke valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_valve

   Most choke valves in engines are butterfly valves mounted upstream of the carburetor jet to produce a higher partial vacuum, which increases the fuel draw. [ 1 ] In heavy industrial or fluid engineering contexts, including oil and gas production, a choke valve or choke is a particular design of valve with a solid cylinder placed inside another ...
