Distributor starting systems
The SaveAir ™ electronic distributor air start system integrates electronic control technology with the starting-process of an "air in head" system.
This is the in-cylinder air-launch system that is used on many large integrated compressor / engines. With the added capabilities of electronic control, SaveAir eliminates the use of many historical mechanical components within the system. The electronics of the SaveAir system create substantial operational advantages, including a significant reduction in the required amount of starting air (up to 70%) and the elimination of "dead spots" in the start-up procedure.
