We are here to help you mitigate safety risks that could be caused by deisel engines at hazardous environments. By pertnering with CHALWYN, a leading manufacturer of safety products has enabled us to provide you the best safety solutions.
Is your site at risk from diesel engine explosion?
Anytime in drilling, production and refining environments the chances of hydrocarbon release is very high. Daily operations of these site are nearly impossible with out equipments that use diesel engine. Vehicle, lighting towers, power generators to name the few.
The most effective way of shutting down a runaway diesel engine is with an air intake shutoff valve system. This system completely blocks the engine intake system, cutting off both the external fuel source and the air required to keep the engine running.

Air intake shutdown valves and systems provide emergency overspeed shutdown protection for diesel engines and are the most effective way of preventing a runaway situation. The valves completely block the engine air intake system, cutting off an uncontrolled external fuel source and the air required to keep the engine running.
- [ ] Chalwyn Revguard Speed Switches detect the hazard of an overspeed (Engine Runaway) condition. When engine RPMs exceed the Revguard’s program setpoint, the output is energized, providing the signal to actuate the air intake shutoff valve(s) to shut off your engine.
European standards (EN 1834-1:2000) covers diesel engine operation in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous areas where flammable gas or vapor may exist, requires that both the engine fuel and intake air supply are automatically shut down if engine overspeed occurs.
Diesel Engine exhaust spark arrestors are a basic but key safety feature for both hazardous area . Virtually all legislation regarding the operation of a diesel engine in a hazardous area includes a mandatory requirement to fit a tested and approved exhaust spark arrestor
Standard automotive type alternators are a continuous potential source of ignition when operated in hazardous atmospheres where combustible concentrations of gas, vapor or dusts may exist. Chalwyn offers ATEX approved flameproof alternators designed specifically to mount onto diesel engines as direct replacements for the standard alternator.
