Engine Protection : CHALWYN

In response to the danger resulting from a diesel engine operating in a hazardous area and over speeding to destruction, 'Chalwyn' automatic over speed shutdown valves can be fitted to the inlet manifold of most types of diesel engines. The 'Chalwyn' valve provides automatic over speed protection by completely closing off the air intake system which deprives the engine of its air and fuel. The valve is easily fitted by means of a rubber hose and hose clips, and can be easily adjusted to provide the degree of over speed protection required. No external power source is needed, the 'Chalwyn' being entirely self contained and simplicity of operation, only minimal maintenance is necessary.
