Atlas Air Compressor Oil Cut-off Valve Assembly 1622463900

The Oil Cut-off Valve Assembly is a critical safety and control component designed to automatically halt the flow of oil in a pipeline or system upon the detection of a preset condition. Its primary function is to act as a fail-safe mechanism, preventing oil spillage, ensuring operational safety, protecting expensive equipment from damage, and minimizing environmental hazards in the event of a system failure, emergency shutdown, or maintenance procedure.

• Automatic Emergency Shut-off: The valve activates instantly upon receiving a trigger signal (e.g., from a fire detection system, high/low pressure sensor, or manual emergency button), severing the fuel supply to prevent catastrophe.
• Leak-Tight Seal: Engineered with precision-machined components and high-quality seals (often Viton, Buna-N, or metal-to-metal) to ensure a bubble-tight closure, eliminating downstream leakage after activation.
• Robust Construction: Typically constructed from durable materials like brass, stainless steel, or carbon steel to withstand harsh operating environments, including high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosive elements present in various oils.
• Multiple Actuation Options: Available in various configurations to suit different control systems:
  • Solenoid Actuated: Electrically operated for instant remote control and integration into automated safety systems.
  • Pneumatic/Hydraulic Actuated: Utilizes air or hydraulic pressure for operation in explosive environments or where electrical sparks are a concern.
  • Manual Reset: After activation, most safety models require a manual reset, ensuring the system is intentionally checked and made safe before restarting.
• High Flow Efficiency: Designed with full-port or low-pressure-drop internals to minimize flow restriction during normal operation, optimizing system efficiency.
• Versatile Mounting: Designed for easy integration into existing pipelines with standard threaded (NPT, BSP) or flanged connections.

This assembly is indispensable in a wide range of industries where controlling oil flow is critical for safety and operations:

• Industrial Machinery: Lubrication systems for turbines, generators, compressors, and large gearboxes.
• Power Generation Plants: Fuel oil supply lines for boilers and backup generators.
• Marine & Shipping: Engine room fuel lines, hydraulic systems, and tanker transfer lines.
• Oil & Gas Industry: On pipelines, at wellheads, and in refining processes for emergency isolation.
• Heating Systems: Fuel oil supply for industrial and commercial furnaces.
• Aerospace: Hydraulic and fuel management systems in ground support and testing equipment.
• Fire Protection Systems: Shutting off fuel to engines or generators in case of fire.

1. Normal Operation: The valve is held in the "open" position by a spring mechanism, electrical current (solenoid), or sustained pneumatic pressure, allowing oil to flow freely through the system.
2. Trigger Event: A monitored parameter exceeds its safe limit. This could be:
   • A signal from a fire alarm or gas detection system.
   • A pressure spike or drop detected by a sensor.
   • A manual emergency stop button being pressed.
   • Loss of power (for fail-close models).
3. Activation: The actuator (solenoid, pneumatic piston) receives the signal and releases, allowing a powerful spring or alternative force to slam the valve gate or ball into the closed position.
4. Isolation: The flow path is completely sealed, stopping oil from reaching the potential hazard point.
5. Reset: Once the fault condition is resolved, a technician must manually reset the valve mechanism to restore flow, ensuring system integrity before restart.
