Current and upcoming emission standards have created new challenges in engine and exhaust design. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems incorporated into the exhaust system have created a need for new specialty components.
Diverter, blocker and shut-off valves are used to shut down or divert harmful exhaust gases between exhaust system devices and restrict the exhaust gas flow to increase DPF temperatures for regeneration mode. They also allow Auxiliary Power Units and the main engine to share the same emission compliant exhaust system. All Pacbrake diverter, shut-off or blocker valves can be used in alternative fuel exhaust systems or laboratory set-ups.
Available in 3", 4", 5" and 6"

Capable of being customized for any application from OEM to dyno test cells
Withstand high temperatures, well in excess of 600 degrees Celsius (1200 F)
Withstand corrosive exhaust gas environments
EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) solutions
Shut down or redirect exhaust
Increase DPF temperature for regeneration
Main engine, Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) share common exhaust
Can be used with alternate fuels
Pressure Regulated Warm-Up Valves
Warm-up valves promote rapid engine warm up, ideal for cold weather applications that use any type of diesel engine.
Designed to maintain high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system by sustaining a constant low pressure at variable exhaust gas flow
Substantial aid in increasing exhaust gas heat retention
Helps reduce emissions
Can be used upstream or downstream in the exhaust system
Prevalent in school bus applications to increase in-cab comfort
Pneumatic actuated
Pressure regulated valve with a fail-safe device built in
Warm-up units can be electronically controlled by stand-alone controller, or by existing ECU; controller can interface with existing ECU via CANBUS
