Why You Need The ShockerPASS
Safety and Security
A Shocker Positive Air Shutoff System is necessary for anyone with a diesel engine that may encounter natural gas, propane, or other flammable gases. A small leak of flammable gas (airborne hydrocarbons) will likely cause a diesel engine to “run away”, causing catastrophic damage to the engine and surrounding area as it explodes.
Prevents Catastrophic Failures
A diesel engine will utilize any fuel available, and flammable gas in the air is more than enough to keep it running, even when the ignition is turned off. Once a diesel engine gets a supply of flammable gas in the air, it will run indefinitely or to the point of catastrophic failure. The only way to prevent and stop this is to shut off the air supply to the engine, starving it of gaseous fuel.
Smart Sensors
The Shocker Positive Air Shutoff System can automatically sense high-revving “run away” situations. It will automatically shut the valve, closing the air supply to the engine to protect the engine itself and personnel and property in the area.
Pre-Built Kits Available from Headwind Solutions
We offer pre-built kits for most positive air shutoff systems. If your equipment isn’t covered, our R&D team will create a custom kit for your needs.
