Diesel Engine Air Intake Shutoff Valves Model RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve Overview If flammable gas or vapor is present in the atmosphere surrounding a diesel engine, it can be ingested into the engine and become an ungoverned fuel supply. This ungoverned fuel can result in runaway engine overspeed, potentially leading to dangerous mechanical failure or an explosion. The Roda Deaco RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve is a positive spring actuated air intake shutoff valve that provides emergency overspeed shutdown of a diesel engine. The RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve can be triggered to close, which starves the engine of air and shuts down the engine. RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve Typical Applications Pickup trucks Drilling support equipment Well servicing equipment Refinery support equipment Bulk haulers and tankers Generator sets Mining equipment Construction equipment Emergency response vehicles and equipment Aircraft support equipment Agriculture equipment Key Features and Benefits Easy to install and maintain Lightweight, compact design Corrosion resistant aluminum, stainless steel and brass construction Used in manual and automatic actuation systems: - Electric - Pneumatic - Mechanical Wide variety of installation kits for most installations RODADEACO by AMOT DS-RO-RDB3-0709-Rev3 www.rodadeaco.com
Operation The Model RDB3 is a compact butterfly design air intake shutoff valve available with electric, pneumatic, or mechanical actuation. Actuation of the Model RDB3 closes the valve s sealing element which shuts off intake air flow into the engine. The RDB3 can be used in fully automatic or manual shutdown systems.

Valve Selection The RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve can be used in applications where the air intake line is 2 1 /4 to 3 1 /2 inches (57-89mm) in diameter. The RDB3 Butterfly Valve can be mounted in vertical or horizontal orientations and airflow through the valve can be in either direction. When specifying the valve note the clearance requirements for the valve with the geometry of the engine and intake line for your application. Note that the RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve is manually reset. Front view of electrically actuated valve To accommodate the installation requirements for the wide variety of diesel engine applications, the size and attachment types on the valve body and the valve cover are specified separately. The valve body is available with hose clamp connections only.

Valve Features Selection Valve Actuation Type The RDB3 Compact Butterfly Valve has three actuation methods: electric, pneumatic, and mechanical. Please refer to the Roda Deaco System Selection Guide for complete descriptions of the systems to help determine the proper actuation required for your application. Electric Actuation Electric Actuation The electrically actuated RDB3 is an energize-toclose valve. It operates using either 12 VDC or 24 VDC power. The electrically actuated RDB3 valve is reset manually. The electrically actuated RDB3 valve is designed for use in the systems indicated below: Automatic Electric Overspeed RPM Detection with Manual Override Manual Electric System Pneumatic Actuation Pneumatic Actuation The pneumatically actuated RDB3 is designed for mechanical latching in the open position (engine run) and air pressure actuated closure. The pneumatically actuated RDB3 valve is reset manually. The pneumatically actuated RDB3 valve is designed for use in the systems indicated below: Automatic Electric Overspeed RPM Detection with Pneumatic Actuation Manual Electric/Pneumatic System Manual Pneumatic System Mechanical Actuation The mechanically actuated RDB3 operated by an operator using a remote cable pull system. The mechanically actuated RDB3 is reset manually. The mechanically actuated RDB3 valve is designed for use in the systems indicated below: Remote Cable Actuated System Direct Actuated Valve Mechanical Actuation page 5
