-
Power Supply: 18–32 VDC
-
Electrical Interface: Dual conduit entries
-
-
Functional Features: Self-cleaning shear-type action prevents port contamination; high-torque electric actuator with onboard driver; single moving part (rotor with metering element and dual resolvers on a single shaft); closed-loop position control; discrete fault output; independent shutdown capability.
-
Working Principle: The onboard electronic controller receives a position command via DeviceNet/CANopen (or 4–20 mA), drives the electric actuator to rotate the shear-type metering element, and maintains precise gas flow via resolver feedback. Dual resolvers provide redundancy.
-
Application Scenarios: Gas fuel metering for industrial gas turbines (10–50 MW) in power generation, gas compression, and mechanical drive; suitable for base turbines and Dry Low Emission multi-valve configurations.
-
Structural Characteristics: Stainless steel body; dual conduit entries; 2-inch ANSI RF flanges; integrated onboard driver electronics; dual resolvers for position feedback.
-
Installation Requirements: Mount to turbine gas manifold using 2-inch ANSI B16.5 Class 600 RF flanges; connect 18–32 VDC power; wire DeviceNet/CANopen network; install gas filtration of 25 µm absolute; maintain minimum 20 psid differential for specified accuracy.
-
Usage Notes: Do not exceed 750 psig supply pressure; the self-cleaning design tolerates contaminated fuels; verify communication protocol matches the control system; for 9908-263 specifically, confirm the exact port size and driver configuration with Woodward documentation.
