    Sulzer Distributor

    The document summarizes how a Sulzer air start distributor works. The air start distributor is driven by the main camshaft and has pilot valves arranged radially around a cam profile. When an ahead start signal is given, air enters the servomotor piston and passes through a start cut off valve to actuate a pneumatic valve. This allows air to pass through the pilot valves when each is at the base of the cam, operating the main air start valve. The distributor drives the pilot valves against the cam profile to open and close the line to the main air start valve.

    The air start distributor is driven from the main camshaft. The
    pilot valves, one for each cylinder, are arranged radially around
    a cam profile. When not in use, the pilot valve followers are held
    off the cam by springs.

    When an ahead start signal is given, air at 30 bar enters the


    space above the servomotor piston, and passes through the
    start cut off valve to actuate the pneumatic valve, which
    allows air from the air start manifold to the pilot valves.
    The air pushes the pilot valves against the cam, and when
    each pilot valve is on the base of the cam, air can pass
    through to operate the main air start valve. As the cam
    pushes the pilot valve into the closed position, the line to
    the main air start valve is vented

    The Starting air distributor can be seen at the top of the picture
    above the local manoeuvering stand. It is driven from a vertical shaft
    via spur gears from the camshaft.
