Plug valve TMZ, D-AMZ series

pneumatically-operatedcontrolfor air

The Chalwyn TMZ Bendix type automatic valve and D-AMZ Spindle valves utilize two automatic closure methods. They are designed to automatically stop an engine by closing down the air intake in the event of an engine runaway or overspeed condition. These valves incorporate a failsafe loss of pressure override mechanism that will also close the valve automatically with the loss of oil or pneumatic pressure signal from the engine control system. A manual start override/emergency stop lever is also included. In addition, a flame trap housing with an optional integral air filter can be mounted directly on the smaller sized TMZ valves to reduce the size and complexity of installing the valve into engine packages where space is limited. The flame trap housings are available in two depths: ¾” (21mm) & 1½” (40mm) The TMZ or D-AMZ valves are selected by combination of the air intake line bore size and the engine power at its rated speed. The size range for the valves is indicated below.
