Frequently Asked Questions
Which gas turbine engines is the Ingersoll Rand TS700 starter configured for?
The brochure lists Allison 501KC, Dresser-Rand 990, Textron-Lycoming, Turbomeca, the Solar Saturn, Centaur and Mars, the Ruston Typhoon, Tornado and Hurricane, Hispano Suiza, GELM1600 and GELM2500 (DR), several Pratt & Whitney models, Cooper-Rolls, Mitsubishi and Siemens.
Does the TS700 turbine starter need oil in the supply air?
No. A splash system inside the starter lubricates the planetary gears and motor bearings, so no airline lubrication is required.
Can the TS700 run on natural gas?
Yes. All versions are factory tested for use with air or natural gas, and a piped-away exhaust elbow is standard.
What gear ratios does the TS700 come in?
Four versions are charted: A at 9.6, B at 11.1, C at 12.6 and D at 5.7857, each plotted at 90 psia.
What information is needed to select a TS700 starter?
The application guide asks for package, engine and gearbox models, an engine drag curve or starter speed and torque at key points, rotation direction, flange and spline details, gas or air pressure, and whether lubrication exists at the starter.
