Division 2 Due to typical noise levels in turbine environments, hearing protection should be worn when working on or around the GS Series gas fuel skid. The surface of this product can become hot or cold enough to be a hazard.
Chapter 1. General Information The Woodward GS Series gas fuel skid is an integrated valve, driver, and pressure- sensing assembly with the ability to meter gas fuel accurately for low-emissions turbines. To achieve accurate gas fuel metering, a digital position demand signal from the supervisory control must be used. The GS Series valve is capable of CANopen digital communications protocols.
Notify the shipper and Woodward if damage is found. The Woodward GS Series gas fuel skid ships with covers on the inlet and discharge pipe flanges as well as the vent lines. The shipping covers ensure that debris is unable to enter the fuel skid before final assembly into the turbine baseplate.
SAE J429. The use of thread anti-galling lubricant is required on all bolted connections. The use of helical split washers is recommended. O-rings for the SAE flange connections are Viton, size 225 (Woodward part number 1355-423). Rated torque for the discharge connections is (28 to 33) Nꞏm / (21 to 24) lb.-ft.
Class I, Division 2, Zone 2 or Zone 1 applications. Take care not to damage the GS Series driver cover seal or flamepath surfaces while removing or replacing the cover on conduit versions. Damage to this joint may result in moisture ingress, fire, or explosion.
Manual 35210 DLE Gas Fuel Skid Water Ingress Protection The following are considerations for protecting the Woodward GS Series gas fuel skid from water damage. Turbine Water Wash Process: Some customers perform a water wash of the turbine compressor section, which can result in incidental water spray directed onto the gas fuel skid.
To take advantage of related product software and hardware improvements, it is recommended that your product be sent back to Woodward or to a Woodward authorized service facility after every five to ten years of continuous service for inspection and component upgrades. Please refer to the service options chapter when returning products.

If vent leakage exceeds 1000 cm³/min when the valve is closed, either the solenoid, the second stage ball seat, or the internal seals are leaking. If a spare solenoid is available, replace it to determine its effect on leakage. If replacing the solenoid does not correct the leakage problem, return the valve to Woodward for repair.
