Hi,
we have a gas turbine that is started by a diesel engine and we want to study the possibility of changing the system to air/gas starter.
what I don't understand is why does the diesel engine has a torque converter even though its torque is usually higher than an air starter.
And I don't understand the starting sequence. does the diesel engine starts to rotate alone to a certain speed then it's coupled to the turbine or that happens from the beginning?
