Manual 35029 LQ25 Valve Actuator Assembly w/ Dual Resolver & ID Module Special Conditions for Safe Use Wiring must be in accordance with North American Class I, Division 2, or European or other international Zone 2, Category 3 wiring methods as applicable, and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.
Information on predicting fuel flow through the LQ25 valve as a function of command input signal can be obtained from the flow calibration data supplied with each valve and, for nominal flow data, from information given in the following section.

Manual 35029 LQ25 Valve Actuator Assembly w/ Dual Resolver & ID Module Positioner Control Architecture The DVP / valve system will take a position demand signal and provide the corresponding position of the valve. This Positioner controller supports an external flow control algorithm that provides an input to the DVP as either an analog or a digital demand signal.
This procedure ensures excellent valve to valve flow repeatability. See Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 to predict the metered fuel flow through the LQ25 as a function of Demand Input and metering port size. Note: These curves represent the "nominal" flow based on statistical data.
LQ25 Fuel Metering Valve The LQ25 valve is suitable for use on gas turbines in the 6000 kW to 42 000 kW output power range, depending on available fuel properties and conditions. There are three port sizes for the LQ25: The 65 mm²...

The LQ25 uses a patented single-stage droop-compensated differential pressure regulator. This maintains the differential pressure across the metering port at approximately constant, and the only factor affecting the output flow is the port area. The nominal set point for the LQ25 differential pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar/50 psid).

LQ25 metering valve is at low flow (or closed). In the case of a pump connected to an electric motor, it may be that most of the pump flow capacity will need to be bypassed. For the LQ25, this may be up to 13 608 kg/h (30 000 lb/h).
The LQ25 must be lifted with a sling or eyebolt installed on the valve top. The sling must straddle the LQ25 center of gravity in order to remain secure. Recommend one strap be placed under the round electrical cover and a second between the mounting feet.
69 kPa (0.69 bar/10 psig). Do not plug the overboard drain as this may cause fuel to enter the LQ25 actuator, resulting in a hazardous condition with the potential to case personal injury and/or damage to the actuator.
LQ25 Valve Actuator Assembly w/ Dual Resolver & ID Module Leakage exceeding 20 cm³/min from the overboard drain line indicates a worn or damaged shaft seal in the LQ25 valve and should be investigated immediately. Special tooling is required to replace the shaft seal.

Manual 35029 LQ25 Valve Actuator Assembly w/ Dual Resolver & ID Module Make electrical connections between the valve and driver with cables built to the requirements of Figures from 2-5a to 2-5f (Figures show only examples of the cables). The optional SOV and feedback switch are wired directly to the turbine control system and have no connection to the DVP.
When removed from the engine system, it is possible to drain all fuel, condensed water vapor, or other contaminants from the assembly without further disassembly. There are no field-replaceable parts on the LQ25. No maintenance is required. Woodward...
If after following these troubleshooting procedures you are unable to find the cause of a problem and repair it, contact Woodward for assistance. If the results of these procedures indicate that the valve may be faulty, replace the suspected unit with a valve known to be good to verify that the cause of the problem is in the valve.
Packager at their factory. In some cases, the programming is password-protected by the OEM or packager, and they are the best source for product service and support. Warranty service for Woodward products shipped with an equipment system should also be handled through the OEM or Packager.
