An air starter is used to start gas and diesel engines, typically in industrial, trucking, power generation, or marine applications by using compressed air. It works by directing high-pressure air into a vane or turbine air starter unit that turns the engine's crankshaft, providing the initial rotation needed to start the engine. This method is preferred for its reliability, especially in environments where electrical starters might not be practical.
