Description

Woodward TG13(8516-038)

Technical Specifications

  • Base Model: TG13.
  • Specific Part: 8516-038.
  • System: Self-contained mechanical-hydraulic.

Functional Features

  • Independent Operation: Functions without external control oil or electrical power.
  • Droop Speed Control: Maintains stable turbine speed with a natural droop characteristic.
  • Exact Fit: 8516-038 specification ensures direct compatibility with designated OEM equipment.

Application Scenarios
Utilized in small steam turbine applications across various industries where simple, reliable, and non-synchronous speed control is required.

Performance Parameters

  • Output Shaft Rotation: Maximum 40 degrees.
  • Control Stroke: 2/3 of full stroke from no-load to full-load.

Material Composition
Durable cast iron and steel construction, precision-machined hydraulic components, and long-lasting internal seals.

Structural Characteristics

  • Self-Contained Design: Integrates speed sensing, hydraulic amplification, and oil storage.
  • Mechanical Output: Direct shaft connection to the turbine’s steam control valve.

Working Principle
Centrifugal flyweights respond to turbine speed changes, mechanically actuating a pilot valve. This valve directs internal hydraulic oil to a servo piston, which adjusts the steam valve to maintain the set speed with droop.

Installation Requirements
Ensure proper mechanical alignment of the output linkage. Verify oil level
