Electric SonicFlo Valve Manual 26177 The ESV valve is certified to a Zone 1-Category 2/ Division 1 method of protection. Wiring methods must comply with the Zone 1-Category 2 / Division 1 method of protection when installed in a Zone 2 / Div 2 classified atmosphere.
General Information Introduction The Electric SonicFlo™ Valve controls the flow of gas fuel to the combustion system of an industrial or utility gas turbine. The unique design yields either a linear, or a modified equal percentage/linear, flow characteristic unaffected by discharge pressure up to a pressure ratio (P2/P1) of at least 0.8.
Resolver Position Feedback Sensors The ESV brushless resolver is rigged at Woodward for optimum motor commutation performance. The actuator controller performs an automatic rigging sequence to initiate position feedback calibration of the valve to the controller.

Electric SonicFlo Valve Manual 26177 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.
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. NEVER PLUG THE VENT PORT. Plugging the fuel vent port will cause the valve to malfunction or operate improperly.
Maintenance and Hardware Replacement Maintenance The only maintenance required for the Electric SonicFlo™ Valve is to inspect and lubricate the ball screw every year in accordance with the description below. In the event that any of the standard components of the valve become inoperative, field replacement is possible.
If the grease feels smooth, proceed to step 6. If the grease feels gritty, or thick like tar, contact your Woodward representative. 6. Apply a new film of grease to all exposed areas of the ball screw threads, ensuring complete coverage.
