Air Shutoff Valves

The Air Shut Off Valve is utilized on a Diesel Engine Inlet Air Connection between the Air Intake Filter and the Turbocharger Inlet (or Intake Manifold if the diesel engine is not turbocharged) as an emergency device to shut down the air inlet flow into the combustion chamber to shut down the engine. An emergency condition can be determined by the equipment operator, or the engine can be automatically shutdown if Ambient Combustibles are ingested into the engine intake where engine speed can no longer be controlled by the engine fuel control system.
