Woodward 9907-167 505E Digital Governor
- Manufacturer: Woodward
- Model/Part Number: 9907-167
- Description: 505E Digital Governor, Second Generation, Front Panel Mount, Low Voltage DC (24 VDC), for Single Extraction and/or Admission Steam Turbine Control, Class 1 Div. 2 Standard Locations
Overview
- The Woodward 9907-167 is a second-generation 505E digital governor designed for controlling industrial steam turbines with single extraction and/or admission pressure control. It is part of Woodward’s 505E series, tailored for applications such as industrial steam turbines, small turbogenerators, and utility turboexpanders. The unit uses a 32-bit microprocessor to manage turbine operations via a pair of actuators driving inlet steam valves. It is no longer available for new plant installations but remains supported for existing systems.
