Description
Woodward 9907-331 Gas Valve
Product Dimensions:
Woodward is a global leader in the design and manufacture of energy control solutions. Their Gas Fuel Metering and Control Valves (such as the GS series, TecJet series, and SonicFlo™) are the industry standard for industrial gas turbines and reciprocating engines.
Below is a detailed technical overview of Woodward Gas Valve products.
1. Product Overview (Product Description)
Woodward gas valves are high-precision, electronically or hydraulically actuated valves designed to meter gaseous fuel to prime movers.
-
GS Series (GS6, GS10, GS16, GS40/50): Rotary-style valves with integrated actuators and on-board digital drivers. They are known for “shear-type” metering that cleans itself during operation.
-
TecJet™ Series: Intelligent electronic gas metering valves specifically for gas engines. They feature integrated sensors that automatically compensate for changes in gas pressure and temperature.
-
SonicFlo™ & GCV: High-capacity valves often used in large-scale power generation turbines, focusing on choked-flow precision and fast shutdown capabilities.
2. Technical Parameters (Typical Specifications)
Parameters vary by specific model (e.g., GS6 vs. GS50), but standard ranges include:
| Feature | Typical Specification |
| Fuel Type | Natural gas, Sour gas, Propane, Butane, Hydrogen (up to 100% on specific models) |
| Input Voltage | 18–32 VDC (24 VDC nominal) or 125 VDC |
| Supply Pressure | Up to 750 psig (Aluminum) / 1440 psig (Stainless Steel) |
| Fuel Temperature | -40°C to +93°C (standard) / up to +177°C (high-temp versions) |
| Flow Accuracy | ±2% to ±6% of point depending on flow rate |
| Response Time | Slew rates < 100 ms; fast-acting shutdown < 50 ms |
| Communication | 4–20 mA, CANopen, DeviceNet™, J1939 |
| Filtration | 25 µm to 50 µm Absolute recommended |
3. Product Advantages
-
Self-Cleaning Design: The “shear-action” metering prevents the buildup of gas condensates, contaminants, and debris that can stick to other valve types.
-
Integrated Intelligence: Many models (like TecJet) have on-board microprocessors that calculate mass flow in real-time, simplifying the requirements for the main engine controller.
-
Digital Accuracy: Eliminates mechanical linkages between the actuator and valve, reducing hysteresis and wear.
-
High Reliability: Features redundant position feedback (LVDTs or Resolvers) and fail-safe spring-return mechanisms for emergency shutdowns.
-
Environmental Resilience: Built for hazardous locations with ATEX, UL, and CSA certifications for Class I, Div 1 or 2 environments.
4. Key Precautions (Safety & Maintenance)
-
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): On-board electronics are sensitive. Always discharge body static before touching connectors or internal boards.
-
Filtration: Gas must be filtered to the manufacturer’s spec (usually 25–50 microns). Solid particles can score the metering sleeve and cause leakage.
-
Mounting Orientation: Some valves have specific mounting requirements to ensure the overboard vent or drain functions correctly.
-
Electrical Power: Ensure the power supply can handle peak transient currents (often much higher than steady-state current) during rapid valve movements.
-
Shutdown Systems: Do not rely solely on the metering valve for safety; always use a dedicated, independent Safety Shutoff Valve (SSOV) in the fuel line.
5. Typical Applications
-
Power Generation: Main fuel control for industrial gas turbines (from 200 kW to 100+ MW).
-
Oil & Gas: Gas compression stations and mechanical drive applications.
-
Reciprocating Engines: Single-point or port injection for lean-burn gas engines.
-
Renewable Energy: Control systems for biogas, landfill gas, and hydrogen-blended fuel operations.
