Turbine Air Starters (TS Series)
Turbine Air Starters (TS Series) represent the most powerful and heavy-duty starting solutions in the Ingersoll Rand turbine air starter range. Designed for extremely large and highly loaded diesel and gas engines, the TS Series stands at the top tier of turbine air starter technology, where maximum starting torque, reliability, and durability are critical in the most demanding industrial applications.
TS Series starters are based on high-performance turbine technology, where compressed air or gas is directed through a multi-stage turbine to deliver extremely high torque and rapid acceleration. Compared to vane-type air starters, turbine-driven designs provide a superior power-to-weight ratio, more compact construction, and reduced mechanical wear.
TS Series turbine air starters are typically lubrication-free, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and making them ideal for long-term operation in harsh and contaminated environments. Their robust construction and premium-grade components ensure reliable performance in applications where frequent starts, long duty cycles, and zero tolerance for downtime are essential.
The TS Series is specifically engineered for very large engines used in marine propulsion, power generation, oil and gas operations, mining, and heavy off-highway equipment. Many TS Series models incorporate advanced clutch and overrunning mechanisms that reduce shock loads during engagement, protecting both the starter and engine ring gear while extending overall system life.
Why choose TS Series turbine air starters?
- Maximum starting power – engineered for extremely large, high-compression engines
- Turbine technology – outstanding power-to-weight ratio
- Lubrication-free design – minimal maintenance and high operational reliability
- Reduced shock loading – extended starter and engine service life
- Heavy-duty construction – built for the harshest industrial environments
