TDI TURBOSTART TM TDI TURBOSTART TM AIR STARTERS FOR AIR STARTERS FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINES GAS TURBINE ENGINES Derived from Aerospace. Designed for Industry. Since 1958, TDI has been a significant player in the design, testing and manufacturing of turbine-related machinery for the world’s most sophisticated aircraft. So it’s no surprise that when TDI engineers put their minds to designing starters for industrial gas turbines, their TurboStart motors quickly garnered recognition for their power, reliability and efficiency. The honing and discipline of a demanding aerospace industry has enabled TDI to establish new standards for industrial turbine starters based on the concepts of more power and smaller packages. The result is a line of starters that display the precision and quality of aerospace components, yet designed to match the harsh environ-mental challenges facing industrial gas turbine engines. Our engineers introduced their first industrial gas turbine starter in 1984. Twelve models and hundreds of refinements later, they continue to introduce products that break new ground for power and reliability for industrial gas turbine starters. www.tdiairstarters.com Aerospace Quality.
