RIGSAVER SGE Series positive air shut off valves have been used worldwide, providing reliable service on- and offshore under adverse conditions. This valve helps prevent diesel engine runaway by cutting off the air to an engine if it begins to overspeed. RIGSAVER is mounted in an engine's air intake system to stop the airflow from entering the cylinders and positively immobilize the engine, safeguarding personnel and equipment. It can be manually or automatically controlled, responding to a variety of fault or hazard conditions.
Why is valve maintenance important?
The level of vibration applied to the Rigsaver 11SGE shutoff valve varies by application and location on the engine. Based on these factors, the reliability and performance of the valve may diminish over time. Rigsaver recommends the user verify performance with regular cycle testing and
adhere to the maintenance schedule contained in our service bulletin. Unless advised otherwise by the engine manufacturer, Rigsaver recommends that the testing procedure is conducted at engine start-up and weekly when in continuous service.
