    The document describes the operation of MAN B&W radial air start distributor valves. There is a pilot valve for each air start valve with 3 inlet ports and 1 outlet port. When starting the engine, pilot air enters the middle inlet port but cannot pass through yet. To start ahead, control air enters the top port and forces the valve slide down, allowing pilot air to pass to the air start valve in the cylinder. As the cam profile moves the slide up, it closes off the pilot air and vents air from the valve. For astern operation, control air enters the lower port instead.

    There is one pilot valve for each air start valve. Each pilot
    valve has 3 inlet ports and one outlet port. When the engine
    is required to start, Pilot air at 30 bar from the main air
    start manifold is led to the middle inlet port.

    The air cannot pass through the pilot valve at this point
    because the port is shut off by the operating piston on the
    valve slide.

    If the engine is required to start ahead then control air at 30


    bar from the air start manifold is led to the top port. This
    acts on the top of the operating piston of the valve slide
    and forces the valve slide down onto the inner cam profile.
    As the slide moves downwards to admit pilot air to the air
    start valve, the top port is closed off and the main pilot air
    now acts on top of the actuating piston. As it does this, the
    pilot air passes through the exit port to actuate the air start
    valve in the cylinder.

    As the cam profile moves the valve slide upwards, the


    piston on the operating slide closes off the pilot air and air
    to the air start valve is vented through the centre of the
    valve slide.

    For astern operation the action is similar, but this time the
    control air enters through the lower port.
