U.030 SAFETY DEVICES

U.031 STANDARD SAFETY DEVICES
Safety valves
On top of the air receivers a safety valve
(ASME/CE) is installed. This valve will open
when the pressure exceeds the set valve.
When a malfunction should occur this valve
avoids that the pressure will rise above the
design pressure of the system.
Oil pressure and coolant temperature
sensors
The engine is equipped with low oil pressure
and high coolant temperature shutdown
sensors.
Latches
At all doors latches are installed to lock the
doors on the “open” position.
Inlet shutdown valve (standard on
offshore units)
The inlet shut down provides protection to the
diesel engine against over speeding caused
by failure of the engine regulator, burning oil
from the engine sump due to overfilling or
aspiration of combustible fumes in hazardous
environments. The inlet shutdown is fully
electronic.

Emergency stop buttons Bartec

The unit is equipped with emergency stop
buttons. When pressed both engines will stop
immediately.
Battery switch
Both compressor systems are equipped with
a battery switch. With this switch the complete
system can be disconnected from the electric
power.
Thermal shut-down sensor
A thermal shut-down sensor protects the
compressor against overheating. The air
receiver is provided with a safety valve.
U.032 OPTIONAL SAFETY DEVICES Connection with control room, in order to
switch-off the power supply from the control
Fuel cut-off valves room
With the fuel cut-off valves near the fuel filling
funnel it is possible to shut off the fuel supply
to the engines. In case of an emergency both
valves have to be shut.
Yellow alert platform shutdown
With this option it is possible to shut down the
unit from the platform control room.
For details refer to section U.033.
Spark arrestor (standard on offshore
units)
The spark arrestor prevents burning particles
leaving the exhaust system. This reduces fire
hazard in dry conditions to protect the
environment and also enables the unit to be
operated in closed environments where there
is a fire risk.

U.033 PLATFORM SHUTDOWN (YELLOW ALERT)

The TwinAir container can be equipped

optionally with "platform shutdown" or "yellow
alert". These are the common used terms to
describe a remote emergency stop which is
controlled by a voltage signal.
Depending on the customer choice the unit
has a solenoid switch with a 110VAC or
240VAC coil. This solenoid (NO) closes a
contact in the emergency stop circuit.
As long as the voltage is applied to the
solenoid it is possible to run the unit; without
this signal the unit shuts down.
The shutdown is failsafe (at wire rupture the
unit shuts down). This shutdown can be used
over long distance when the unit is running in
a remote location.
For wiring diagram see Appendix. The circuit
of the yellow alert is part of the general circuit
diagram 9822 0963 31. To connect guide a
cable through the Roxtec cable gland into the
cubicle of the TwinAir container. There the
wires must be connected to contact rail
X16.56 and X 16.57.
