Innovative Safety Systems for Diesel and Spark Ignited Engines

Headwind Solutions will keep you safe with advanced gas detection and engine shut off systems for diesel engine runaway and ignition hazards.

Headwind has two featured products that we’ve designed and patented in-house – the ShockerPASS and ShockerEDGE. Our team has worked in the industry for decades to create the highest quality products to keep people safe. Diesel engine runaway can have catastrophic effects leading to loss of property, injuries, work delays, and even death of personnel in the area. We’re committed to advancing safety and share the value of protecting lives, property, businesses, and the environment. We develop solutions that support crisis management plans, and other precautionary measures to increase safety in a workplace.

We want to help keep your worksite safe and productive through the use of advanced detection and engine shut off technology! Have some questions about how our innovative safety systems can help your business?

INTRODUCING
ShockerEDGE

This innovative technology is the first of its kind and works for all internal combustion engines. We install a state-of-the-art MPS gas sensor in the air intake system of the engine that reads flammable gases. It calibrates itself every two seconds using ambient temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity. ShockerEDGE can turn your engine off before a diesel runaway or ignition sources from hot surfaces become an issue. Other uses for ShockerEDGE include.  early detection and notification on engines for first responders, production and service personal.

MAIN SCREEN

Less than 2.5% Gas Detected:

2.5% to 7.5% Gas Detected:

More than 7.5% Gas Detected:

The data is also sent to the display, giving you a real time display of the sensors findings including;

  • System and sensor status
  • Temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure
  • Settings tab
  • Gas status and identification
  • Concentration of gas detected
  • Alarm Status
  • Data logging

Why You Need the ShockerEDGE

STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
State-of-the-art MPS gas sensor in the air intake system of the engine, that reads flammable gasses. Unlike Cat bead/Pellister type sensors, the MPS gas sensor calibrates itself every 2 seconds using up to date ambient temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity. It does not require bump gas, docking stations or an instrument technician to recalibrate 4 times a year.
SECURE DATA TRASNMISSION
The sensor reads the chemical composition of the air being drawn into the engine, then transmits the data to the ShockerEDGE controller and the ShockerEDGE display.
FASTER & SAFER THEN EVER
Once the data is received by the controller, it can be programmed to turn the engine off at 7.5% LEL, long before a diesel engine runaway can occur, or a gasoline engine starts to backfire. The controller can also be programmed to activate your ShockerPASS air shutoff valve on a diesel engine.

Preventing Diesel Engine Runaway

Positive air intake shut off systems prevent diesel engine runaway. A diesel engine will utilize any fuel available, and flammable gas in the air is more than enough to keep a diesel engine running, even when the key is removed. Once a diesel engine gets a supply of flammable gas in the air, it will run indefinitely to the point of catastrophic failure. The only way to prevent and stop this is to starve it of gaseous fuel. By installing the ShockerPASS, or ShockerEDGE you cut off the flammable gas before a diesel runaway can occur.

ShockerPASS

We manufacture the best available automatic positive air shutoff systems to prevent diesel runaways. Our original product, the ShockerPASS is a positive air-shutoff system that automatically senses high-revving runaway situation and shuts the valve to the diesel engine. By closing the air supply, we protect personnel in the area, your property, and the engine itself. Don’t worry about diesel runaway with this high quality shut off system!

Just received our full North American patent for our products great way to start 2021.

Why you need the SHOCKERPASS

SECURITY AND SAFETY
A positive air shutoff system is a necessity for anyone with a diesel engine that may come in contact with natural gas, propane, or any other flammable gasses. A small leak of flammable gas is likely to cause a diesel engine to “run away”, causing catastrophic damage to the engine, and surrounding area as it explodes.
PREVENTS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE
A diesel engine will utilize any fuel available, and flammable gas in the air is more than enough to keep a diesel engine running, even when the key is removed. Once a diesel engine gets a supply of flammable gas in the air, it will run indefinitely or to the point of catastrophic failure. The only way to prevent and stop this is to shut off the air supply to the engine, starving it of gaseous fuel.
SMART SENSORS
The Shocker Positive Air Shutoff System is capable of automatically sensing high-revving “run away” situations, and will automatically shut the valve, closing the air supply to the engine to protect the engine itself, as well as property and personnel in the area.

We have pre-built kits for most positive air shutoff systems. If you have equipment we have not yet developed a kit for, our dedicated R&D department will custom build a kit for your specific application.
