Advantages and Features
- Precision Control: The WOODWARD 9907-162 delivers ±0.25% speed accuracy and ±1% load accuracy, ensuring stable turbine operation under varying conditions.
- Flexible Valve Control: Supports single/split-range actuators (up to two) for customized inlet steam valve management.
- Integrated Safety: Critical speed avoidance, auto-start sequences, and valve limiters prevent over-speed and mechanical damage.
- Dual Configuration Modes: Local front-panel operation and remote 505View/OpView software access streamline setup and diagnostics.
- Harsh-Environment Reliability: Withstands -20°C to +60°C temps, 5g vibration, and 50g shock for industrial durability.
Application Cases in Application Fields
- Cogeneration Plant: The WOODWARD 9907-162 controls a 15MW extraction steam turbine, maintaining 60Hz speed during grid load fluctuations and optimizing steam extraction for district heating, reducing fuel consumption by 8%.
- Refinery Steam Turbine: It manages a 10MW back-pressure turbine driving a process compressor, using critical speed avoidance to prevent rotor damage during start-up/shutdown, cutting unplanned downtime by 25%.
- Pulp & Paper Mill: The WOODWARD 9907-162 controls a 5MW steam turbine for a paper machine drive, enabling load sharing with a backup generator and supporting remote monitoring via DCS to meet production demand changes.
- Chemical Plant: It regulates a 20MW extraction turbine for process steam and power generation, using valve limiting to protect against overpressure and ensuring compliance with API 612 standards.
