What is the function of an Automatic Emergency Shutoff Valve?

The function of an Automatic Emergency Shutoff Valve is to shut off the flow of gases or liquids automatically. This valve is a critical safety feature designed to protect both the delivery truck and the surrounding environment from hazardous situations, such as leaks or ruptures in the system. In emergency situations, when there is an unusual increase in pressure or a detection of gas leakage, the automatic shutoff valve acts quickly to prevent any further flow, minimizing the risk of fire, explosion, or environmental contamination.

This safety mechanism is crucial for handling compressed natural gas, as it helps to ensure that any potential emergency is addressed promptly and effectively. By doing so, it contributes to the overall safety protocols in place for CNG delivery operations. Other functions, such as enhancing gas flow, regulating pressure, or measuring temperature, do not align with the primary purpose of an automatic emergency shutoff valve.
