Woodward 8516-039 TG-13 Turbine Governor
- Manufacturer: Woodward
- Model/Part Number: 8516-039
- Description: TG-13 Mechanical-Hydraulic Speed Droop Governor, Screw Speed Setting, 12 ft-lb Output, 2400-4000 RPM, Counterclockwise (CCW) Rotation, for API611 Steam Turbines
Overview
- The Woodward 8516-039 is a TG-13 mechanical-hydraulic speed droop governor designed to control API611 steam turbines driving pumps, compressors, or generators in applications where isochronous (constant-speed) operation is not required. It regulates turbine speed by sensing rotor speed via the input drive shaft, comparing it to an internal speed setpoint, and adjusting steam flow through a rotary output terminal shaft connected to the turbine’s governor valve.
