Abstract
Abstract A shutoff valve actuator remote control system includes a main control apparatus and a duplicating control apparatus connected therewith. The duplicating control apparatus comprises a self-contained power source in the form of a gas generator with an igniter connected to an emergency remote control line, and further comprises a commutator, a safety valve, and a receiver connected with the gas generator outlet and the commutator. The commutator is also connected with the outlet from the main control apparatus and the shutoff valve actuator. The present invention provides substantially enhanced dependability of control during breakdown conditions and features a simple design.
