<p>Disclosed are a method and a device for starting an engine, in which the amount of compressed air consumed by air motors can be reduced and increase in the sizes of a compressed air tank and an air compressor can be suppressed. The method for starting an engine (1) with use of a plurality of air motors (2, 3) is characterized in that the numbers of the air motors (2, 3) to be driven during starting of the engine is reduced before the engine (1) increases the rotational speed by itself. Namely, while the rotational speed of the engine (1) is raised during starting of the engine, the numbers of the air motors (2, 3) to be driven is reduced, for example, from two to one.</p> |
