Why is
Simultaneous Injection of Fuel Oil and Starting Air into a Main Engine Cylinder
Undesirable and How is it Prevented?
Simultaneous
Injection of Fuel and Starting Air into a Cylinder is Undesirable as it could
lead to an Explosion in the Start Air System.
It is
prevented by means of Interlock, which prevents Fuel being Injected when the
Air Start Auto Valve is Open.
The
Interlock Operates a Stop Solenoid, which keeps the Fuel Rack at Zero Position.
