Woodward 9907-363

Product Introduction:​ The 9907-363 is an LQ25 series electric liquid fuel metering valve for industrial and aero-derivative gas turbines in the 6,000 kW to 42,000 kW output range. It adopts a fully integrated all-electric design combining a brushless DC motor, rotary plate metering valve, and non-contact resolver-based position sensor, achieving precise closed-loop position control through a matched electronic driver. The LQ25 series provides self-cleaning shear-type metering, a high flow turn-down ratio, accurate flow control, and excellent corrosion resistance, serving as the core executive element of gas turbine liquid fuel electronic control systems.
