Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a single unit of air device, which is connected with an engine through a clutch, to work both as an air motor for starting the engine and as a compressor, by connecting the air device to an air tank through a selector valve which is a three-way valve. CONSTITUTION:When an air device (a) is allowed to work as an air motor, communication holes 11, 12 are put under communication by No.1 selector valve (e) and also an atmospheric opening 13 is shut, and at the same time, a third communication hole 14 is put in communication with another atmospheric opening 16 by No.2 selector valve (e') and also a fourth communication hole 15 is shut. Now the compressed air in an air tank (c) is supplied to this air device (a). An electromagnetic clutch (d) is turned on, and the engine (b) concerted is started by the air motor (a). When the air motor (a) is allowed to work as a compressor, on the other hand, the selector valves (e, e') are changed over when a pressure switch F has sensed that the accumulated pressure in the air tank (c) has sunk to a specified value. Thereby the air device (a) is driven by the engine (b), and the compressed air is fed to the air tank (c).
