Recommended Starters for the Dresser-Rand PJVG-6

Why These Starters Fit

Ingersoll Rand rates the ST2000 for diesel engines up to 150 L, so the 48.3 L PJVG-6 sits within its range.

Ingersoll Rand's catalog rates its starters for carbureted gas engines of roughly twice the diesel displacement (for example, the ST1000 covers diesel engines from 16 to 320 L and carbureted gas engines from 32 to 660 L), so a gas engine is well inside the rating that suits a diesel of the same size.

You can choose between turbine and vane designs. The ST2060BG03L31 turbine starter delivers up to 70 hp (52.2 kW) at 150 psi, uses 1290 scfm (609 L/s) at maximum power and runs on 30-150 psi. By comparison, the SS350GE03L32 vane starter delivers up to 36 hp (27 kW) at 150 psi, uses 900 scfm (425 L/s) at maximum power and runs on 30-150 psi.

Flange, Rotation and Pinion

Flange: SAE No. 3. Rotation: left-hand. Pinion: code 31, 12 teeth, 6/8 pitch, 20° pressure angle.

Engine builders change flywheel housings, ring gears and rotation between applications and serial ranges, so match the flange, rotation and pinion on your existing starter's nameplate before you order.

Air Supply

The ST2060BG03L31 runs on 30-150 psi and uses 1290 scfm (609 L/s) at maximum power. It is rated for compressed air or natural gas. The Model Finder pairs it with the ST1000-267-24 inlet strainer, which keeps scale and debris out of the motor.

Dresser-Rand PJVG-6 Air Starter FAQ

What air starter fits the Dresser-Rand PJVG-6?

The Model Finder recommends the ST2060BG03L31. Alternatives are 150TMPF88L54, SS350GE03L32. Confirm the flange, rotation and pinion against your current starter before ordering.

Can the ST2060BG03L31 run on natural gas?

Yes. Ingersoll Rand rates the ST2060BG03L31 for compressed air or natural gas. On gas, pipe the exhaust away to a safe location.

Can I replace an electric starter on the PJVG-6 with an air starter?

Air starters mount on standard SAE flanges, so they are often used in place of electric starters where batteries, sparks or cold starts are a concern. See air vs. electric starters, and call us with your engine serial number so we can confirm the flange, pinion and air supply.

How do I confirm the right starter?

Send us the full model number from your existing starter's nameplate, or the engine make, model and serial number. Engine builders change ring gears and flywheel housings between serial ranges, so we confirm fit before quoting.
