ABSTRACT:
An emergency air shutdown system for diesel engines which has air intake manifold and curved discharge tubes leading into the manifold for a plurality of cylinders, the system comprising a valve member for each discharge tube and pivotal mounting means therefor to cause movement of the valve member about an axis substantially parallel to the air flow through the discharge tube between an open position outside the path of air flow and a closed position across the tube to block the air flow. Locking means are provided for keeping the valve in an open position, and activating means are provided to effect release of the locking means so as to permit rapid movement to the closed position across each tube.
