Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for evaluating incoming air to an engine for concentrations of explosive or combustible gases, and shutting down the engine to prevent an overspeed condition when elevated concentrations are detected. In some embodiments engine shutdown may be achieved conventionally via an electronic kill signal and in emergency conditions by the shutoff of incoming air to an air intake. The ability to make decisions based on explosive gas concentrations and species and the use of networking to allow additional systems to take action even before explosive gases reach said other valve-sensor devices can provide additional safety.
