The control panel monitors engine speed and sends a shut-down demand to the valve if it exceeds a set limit.
Also quoted as offering a more economical solution for controlling high and low temperature circuits on MAN diesel engines, the valves used are of 50mm and 80mm nominal bore.
Self-contained with no need for external power source, the self-sensing temperature control is accomplished by expansion of a wax/copper mixture with positive proportional valve action.
