BD E-PAS Electronic Emergency Engine Shutdown 11-16 6.6L LML GM Duramax
Some industries, such as mining, oil refinery, forestry, mobile welding, septic removal, and refueling require vehicles to have an emergency engine shutdown in place. The most effective method for this is to cut the air supply on a diesel engine, causing fuel ignition to cease. In the past, this was done by installing a butterfly valve into the cold air side of the engine, which was typically costly and time consuming. No longer with the release of the E-PAS from BD!
Most late model diesel engines incorporate an electronic throttle body, or throttle control valve, into the intake manifold to partially restrict intake air to aid in EGR function and meet ever increasing emissions standards. When controlled correctly, this valve can completely shut off the outside air supply to the engine. The BD Electronic Positive Air Shutdown kit connects to this valve to shut the engine down in emergency situations.
The BD Electronic PAS will automatically shut off the engine if it exceeds a preset engine RPM or if toggled manually with the supplied switch. The BD module also has an automatic reset feature which will reopen the valve once the engine has stopped. No longer does the operator need to open the hood to reset the valve after a system test.
The E-PAS is much simpler to install than previous, traditional style PAS products as it is completely plug and play with existing parts on the vehicle.
Note: This product requires your factory EGR and emissions equipment to function properly.
