The Model RDS5 High Temperature Electric Swing Gate valve is a compact swing gate design air intake shutoff valve. Actuation of the Model RDS5 closes the valve’s sealing element which shuts off intake air flow into the engine. The RDS5 can be used in fully automatic or manual shutdown systems.
The RDS5 Swing Gate Valve can be used in applications where the air intake line is 4½ to 7 inches (76 - 114 mm) in diameter. It can be mounted in vertical or horizontal orientations and airflow through the valve can be in either direction.
To accommodate the installation requirements for the wide variety diesel engine applications, valve attachments are available in several styles including: hose, O-ring, flange, and engine specific attachment.
Electric Actuation
The electrically actuated RDS5 is an energize-to-close valve. It operates using either 12 VDC or 24 VDC power. The valve will automatically reset after the engine stops and power is removed. The electrically actuated RDS5 valve is designed for use in the systems indicated below:
- Automatic Electric Overspeed RPM Detection with Manual Override
- Manual Electric System
