  • Page 9: Chapter 1. General Information

    Chapter 1. General Information Introduction The SonicFlo™ valve controls the flow of gas fuel to the combustion system of an industrial or utility gas turbine. This unique high recovery design yields a flow characteristic unaffected by discharge pressure at very low pressure ratios (P1/P2) [contact Woodward for specific recovery information].
  • Page 10 Exponential 0% to 15% Linear 15% to 100% Materials Woodward certifies that our SonicFlo line of Gas Fuel Control Valves is designed and manufactured such that all wetted materials that experience a tensile stress are compliant with the thermo-mechanical requirements of MR0103.

  • Page 17: Chapter 2. Description

    Manual 35022 SonicFlo High Temperature Gas Fuel Control Valves Chapter 2. Description Triple Coil Electrohydraulic Servo Valve Assembly The hydraulic actuator assembly uses a two-stage hydraulic servo valve to modulate the position of the actuator output shaft and thereby control the gas fuel valves. The first stage torque motor utilizes a triple- wound coil, which controls the position of the first and second stage valves in proportion to the total electric current applied to the three coils.
  • Page 18: Hydraulic Filter Assembly

    LVDT Position Feedback Sensors The SonicFlo high recovery control valves use a dual-coil LVDT for position feedback. The LVDT is factory set to give 0.7 Vrms feedback at minimum position and 3.5 Vrms feedback at maximum position, when supplied with 7 Vrms excitation at 3000 Hz.

  • Page 20: Unpacking

    Manual 35022 SonicFlo High Temperature Gas Fuel Control Valves Unpacking The valve is shipped in an airtight bag with desiccant to ensure a non-corrosive environment. We recommend that the valve be kept in its shipping container until installation. If the valve is to be stored for extended periods of time, encase the valve in an airtight container with desiccant.

    Fuel Vent Port There is a fuel vent port that must be vented to a safe location. In normal operation, this vent should have zero leakage. However, if excessive leakage is detected from this vent port, contact a Woodward representative for assistance.

    Every valve shipped contains documentation that gives the actual Null Current as measured by Woodward. It is imperative that the control system null current match the as-measured current for each valve in the system. Incorrect null current setting, with proportional control only, will result in position error.

  • Page 24: Chapter 4. Maintenance And Hardware Replacement

    The SonicFlo™ valve requires no maintenance or adjustment for operation. Woodward recommends routine checks of the DP gauge on the filter assembly to verify that the filter is not partially clogged. If the DP indicator shows red, the filter element needs to be replaced.
  • Page 25 SonicFlo High Temperature Gas Fuel Control Valves To facilitate field replacement of items, spare parts should be kept on-site. See the outline drawing (Figure 1-2) for the locations of items. Contact Woodward for a complete list of field-replaceable parts and additional instructions for their replacement.
  • Page 26 Manual 35022 SonicFlo High Temperature Gas Fuel Control Valves 9. Place the replacement servo valve onto the hydraulic manifold. Be sure to orient the servo valve to match the original orientation. Be sure that all four O-rings remain in their proper location during assembly.
  • Page 27 Manual 35022 SonicFlo High Temperature Gas Fuel Control Valves 21. Install four 0.500-13 nuts, one onto each stud. Slowly compress the springs into their cavity by rotating each nut one turn at a time. This will keep the cover and LVDT square with the housing.
  • Page 28: Inspections

    Verify that the spacers are all tightly held between the actuator and valve bodies. Inspections Woodward recommends the following maintenance and inspection schedule for the SonicFlo valve: Routine Inspections Routinely check the DP gauge on the filter assembly to verify that the filter is not partially clogged. If the DP indicator shows red, the filter element needs to be replaced.
