The use of a second resolver provides redundancy in terms of position feedback. The customer installation should provide proper fuel filtration and adequate heating to prevent fuel saturation, constituent precipitation, and/or hydrate formation on the wet parts of the valve. Performance degradation or valve failure may result. Woodward...
