Woodward 8904-390

Product Name:​ Small Gas Fuel Valve (Woodward 8904-390), 1907-series small gas valve.
Overview:​ A Woodward 1907-series small gas fuel-metering valve supplied as a valve-only assembly under 8904-390. It provides precise gas-flow control for small- to mid-size industrial gas turbines and gas engines.
Technical Specifications:
  • Series: Woodward 1907 Small Gas Valve

Detailed content

  • Supplied Woodward number: 8904-390
  • Configuration: Valve only (no actuator)
  • Working medium: clean natural gas or equivalent fuel gas
  • Filtration requirement: 25 µm absolute
  • Ambient temperature range: −20 °C to +80 °C
  • Pressure: per industrial gas-system standard
Material & Structure:​ Precision-cast aluminum alloy or stainless-steel body; surface-hardened alloy-steel metering plug; FKM (fluoro-rubber) sealing elements; corrosion-resistant alloy fasteners.
Structure Features:​ Precision metering port with smooth internal flow path; standard pipe-connection ports; machined actuator mounting face; vibration-resistant design.
Working Principle:​ Gas enters through the inlet, passes through the precision metering orifice, and flows to the combustor. An external actuator drives the metering plug to change the effective orifice area, thereby controlling fuel flow as commanded by the electronic controller.
Application Scenarios:​ Small industrial gas turbines, distributed generation and CHP, gas-engine fuel systems, backup/emergency gensets.
Installation Requirements:​ Follow flow-direction marking on the body; install the specified gas filter upstream; support the pipeline independently to avoid stress on the valve; perform purge, leak-test, and full-stroke verification before commissioning.
Usage Notes:​ Maintain gas cleanliness (25 µm filtration); inspect external seals and fasteners periodically; do not operate beyond the rated pressure/temperature; store with ports plugged if taken out of service.
