This project is issued for detail familiarization with construction peculiarities, operation and maintenance features for modern reciprocating staring air compressors, that are main part of each starting air system on board. It is observed in details all elements for starting air system, as well as principles of schemes and drawings reading for the pneumatic systems. Lecture comprises data about kinds of fittings, actuators, definition of pipes and types of isolation, that are used on board of modern vessels.

Затронуты моменты не только теоретического устройства и принципа работы поршневого одноцилиндоового двухступенчатого компрессора, но и изложен практический опыт работы с данными компрессорами, основные неисправности, сигналы аварийно-предупредительной сигнализации и способы устранения возникающих проблем при эксплуатации данных машин. Данный курс будет интересен как Судовым механикам которые уже уверенно двигаются по карьерной лестнице, так и тем кто только планирует или уже готовится к должности Вахтенного Механика на борту.

               This course will be interested for Engineers, who work with this type of compressors and want to enhance their knowledges, as well as for Students of Marine Academies, Cadets, Motormen and Engineers, who worked with old types of starting air compressors and going to work on board of modern vessels, where could be installed similar compressors. The lecture is based on accumulated experience, and supplemented by drawing, photo and video materials from board of modern vessel. Also, it is given recommendations, interrelated with maintenance and troubleshooting for starting air compressors and starting air system.
