— Overview

Starting-air spares, at the source in Alang.

Wattmare supplies spare parts for marine air compressors — the two-stage reciprocating machines that make 30 bar starting air for the main engine, plus control and service air. LP/HP valves and piston rings are among the fastest-turnover spares on the ship. We hold them genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned for all major makes and dispatch worldwide in 24–48 hours.

A starting-air compressor works against 30 bar, so its valves, rings and liners wear steadily and a failed unit can leave a vessel unable to start its main engine. From our base beside Alang we recover and recondition compressors from decommissioned ships — measured, re-valved, re-ringed and pressure-tested — a fast, cost-effective route to full duty and often the only source for legacy Sperre and Tanabe units.

For recovered parts from ships dismantled at Alang, see our reconditioned marine spare parts; for a compressor down with a vessel to move, our emergency desk dispatches in 24–48 hours; and for the full story, our Alang ship spare parts guide.

Hamworthy air compressor spare parts

Hamworthy built marine starting-air, working-air and control-air compressors in the United Kingdom for decades before the business was absorbed into Wärtsilä in 2012. The nameplate is still turning on a large population of vessels now reaching the end of their lives, while factory support for the older ranges has narrowed considerably. That combination is exactly where a reconditioned-parts supplier earns its place. We supply valve assemblies, piston rings, bearings, gaskets, unloader and cooler components for Hamworthy air compressors, identified from the unit nameplate.

Buyer's guide

How to order the right air compressor part.

Six steps from a worn component to the correct part crated for your vessel — the workflow our desk uses on every enquiry.

01

Identify the unit

Read the nameplate on the air compressor or in the ship's papers — maker, series and frame number. Licence-built units use the identical OEM nomenclature, so the plate never limits sourcing.

02

Pin the exact part

Give the OEM part number if you have it, or a clear name plus key measurements. A nameplate photo and a photo of the worn part are the fastest route to a firm quote.

03

Choose the grade

Match provenance to criticality — Alang-reconditioned for high-wear and legacy items, OEM-equivalent for consumables, genuine for class-critical parts. All three meet the maker's tolerances.

04

Confirm class needs

Tell us the vessel's classification society if the part must be presented for survey — we supply maker/material certificates on new parts and measurement/NDT reports on reconditioned parts.

05

Plan the lead time

Planned-maintenance orders ship on schedule; for a breakdown our emergency desk dispatches in 24–48 hours to any major port.

06

Get a firm quote

Send it all on WhatsApp. We check stock and our Alang-sourced pool, confirm condition and price, and reply — usually the same day.

Alang reconditioning

Compressors,
recovered and rebuilt.

Air compressors are simple, rugged and ideal to recondition at Alang. We strip, measure liners and crank to the wear limits, renew valves, rings and bearings, then run up and pressure-test to 30 bar before the unit ships.

How Alang reconditioning works
Step 1

Strip the compressor

The unit is dismantled and every valve, ring, liner and bearing laid out for inspection.

Step 2

Measure liners & crank

Cylinder liners, pistons and the crankshaft are measured against the maker's wear limits.

Step 3

Renew valves & rings

LP/HP valves, plates, springs and the full ring set are renewed to spec.

Step 4

Renew bearings

Big-end, small-end and main bearings are renewed and clearances set.

Step 5

Reassemble to clearance

The compressor is rebuilt to the maker's clearances with a new gasket and O-ring kit.

Step 6

Run & pressure-test

It is run up, pressure-tested to 30 bar and ships with a report and batch tags.

Overhaul & inspection

When each compressor part is due.

A starting-air compressor runs against 30 bar, so valves and rings are the fast-turnover spares. This is the usual overhaul rhythm, what we inspect and the typical action.

Cooling type

Air-cooled or water-cooled?

Marine compressors come air-cooled (finned cylinders and a fan) or water-cooled (a cooling-water jacket and cooler). Which you have changes the cooler spares you carry. We supply both.

Questions, answered

Marine compressor spares — your questions.

The questions technical managers and chief engineers ask us most about air compressor parts.

Which marine air compressor brands and models do you supply?
Sperre (HL, HV, LL2 and the XA/XW X-Range), Tanabe (H and HC), Sauer (Mistral, Passat, Levante, Typhoon, Breeze) and Hatlapa (L25–L350). For each we hold LP/HP valves, valve plates, piston and scraper rings, cylinder liners, bearings and full gasket kits — genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned.
Are compressor valves and piston rings interchangeable between models?
No — they're matched to the specific model and stage (e.g. a Sperre HV2/210 HP valve differs from an HL2/105A). Send the exact compressor model from the nameplate and we supply the correct LP/HP valve set, ring set and liner for each stage.
Do these compressors make 30 bar starting air?
Yes. Main-engine starting-air compressors run at 30 bar working (40 bar design). Sperre HL/HV/X-Range, Tanabe H/HC, Sauer and Hatlapa L-series are all two-stage 30 bar machines; Sperre's LL2 is a separate 10 bar service-air unit. Tell us the duty and we match the right machine's parts.
What is a dry exchangeable cylinder liner?
Hatlapa and Sperre use dry liners — a replaceable sleeve pressed into the cylinder with no direct water contact — so at overhaul you renew the liner rather than re-boring the block. We stock the liners as a standard wear part.
Are reconditioned air-compressor parts reliable?
Yes. Alang-recovered compressors are stripped, liners and crankshafts measured to the maker's wear limits, valves, rings and bearings renewed, then run up and pressure-tested to 30 bar with a report. Typically 30–60% below new, and often the only source for legacy Sperre and Tanabe units.
Do you deliver air compressor parts worldwide?
Yes. We dispatch from India through local port agents. Common destinations include UAE, Singapore and Europe. A vessel-down valve or ring set ships in 24–48 hours.
What's the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled compressors?
Air-cooled machines (Sperre HL, XA) use finned cylinders and a fan and need no sea-water; water-cooled machines (Sperre HV, XW) use a cooling-water jacket and cooler for higher, steadier output. The main parts are the same; water-cooled units add cooler tubes to the spares list.
Who is the best marine air compressor spare parts supplier in India?
Wattmare, in Bhavnagar beside Alang. We supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned valves, rings, liners and overhaul kits for Sperre, Tanabe, Sauer and Hatlapa compressors, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.
Air Compressor terms

The parts, in plain terms.

A quick reference to the air-compressor components and terms that come up when you order parts.

Starting air

The 30 bar compressed air stored in receivers and used to turn the main engine over for starting — the compressor's primary marine duty.

Two-stage

Compression in two steps (LP then HP) with intercooling between, needed to reach 30 bar efficiently. Each stage has its own valves, piston and liner.

LP / HP valve

The low- and high-pressure suction and discharge valves — the highest-turnover wear part on a reciprocating compressor.

Cylinder liner

The replaceable sleeve the piston runs in. Hatlapa and Sperre use dry liners, renewed at major overhaul.

Intercooler

The cooler between the LP and HP stages that drops the air temperature and drains condensate before the second stage.

Unloader

The valve gear that lets the compressor start off-load and unloads it when the receiver reaches pressure.

FAD

Free Air Delivery — the compressor's output measured at intake conditions, in m³/h. Sets which model suits a given air demand.

Service air

Lower-pressure air (7–10 bar) for pneumatic tools and controls — Sperre's LL2 and similar single-stage units, separate from starting air.
