Ambient. For use in Canada and the United States. Certificate 70184121. System) SIL Compliance: GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valve – Certified SIL 3 Capable for Product in safety instrumented systems. Evaluated to IEC 61508 Parts 1-7. Refer to the instructions of this Installation and Operation Manual, Chapter 4 Safety Management.
Mating electrical connector must be tightly installed to maintain the IP66 and Type 4 Enclosure ratings. The GSOV Actuation System may only be used on the GSOV80 for a maximum process fluid temperature of 193 °C (380 °F) and at maximum ambient temperature of 93 °C (200 °F). See Ch.1 for more information regarding the GSOV Actuation System.

Chapter 1. General Information Introduction The GSOV80 (3 inch / 80 mm Gas Shutoff Valve) is a high-speed fuel shutoff valve designed to terminate the turbine gas fuel supply should the electronic fuel control or sequencer interrupt the permissive electrical signal.
Released Manual 35091 GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valve GSOV80 Specifications Table 1-1. GSOV80 Specifications Description: Pneumatically actuated gas shutoff valve Closing Time: Less than 100 ms Opening Time: Less than 1 s Valve Seat Leakage: ANSI/FCI 70-2-2013 Class VI, forward and reverse...
GSOV80 Operating Envelope To ensure proper operation and conformance to limits defined in Table 1-1 GSOV80 shall be operated within pressure and ambient or fuel temperature limits shown on the graph below. Operating the valve outside of this envelope may result in slower response times or mechanical overstress.
GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valve Service Life Capabilities and Limitations If properly installed, maintained and operated within its design limits, the GSOV80 will operate up to 64,000 hours or approx. 2,500 cycles before requiring repair or overhaul. Periodically check the main seat leakage and overboard vent leakage. Excessive leakage may be an indicator of seal wear and warrant service.
Installation and Maintenance Receiving The GSOV80 is tested with dry air and then packed in a foam-filled box for shipment. The unit may be stored for an extended period in the original container. Lifting Carefully review Figure 2-1 for lifting locations, weight, and center of gravity before moving the valve.
The GSOV80 valve is designed for installation between and supported by two standard 3-inch, Class 600 flanges per ASME B16.5. Additional supports are neither needed nor recommended. The inlet and outlet flanges are threaded per the outline drawings in Figures 2-2 and 2-3.

See Figure 2-4 for mating connector specifications and wiring diagram. See Figure 2-5 for recommended cable construction. Contact Woodward sales representative for dedicated Woodward cable. Refer to P/N 5450-2207.XX (where XX is required length in ft, 10-100 ft in 10 ft increments).
Keep clear of the vent when cycling the valve. Because of the critical function of the GSOV80, it is mandatory that the turbine operators regularly monitor the condition of the valve. It should be inspected during all turbine maintenance intervals.

(300 cm³)/min may indicate valve seal wear or a possible malfunction. If properly maintained and operated within its design limits, the GSOV80 will operate up to 64 000 hours or approx. 2,500 cycles before requiring repair or overhaul. The following maintenance checks should be completed at the prescribed intervals.

Review the specification section for solenoid voltage requirements and expected resistance. The solenoid valve can be replaced in the field if necessary For more details read Woodward manual CMM-03012. Routinely check the shutdown switches or relays to be sure they are capable of terminating the electrical supply to the solenoid.

Released Manual 35091 GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valve Chapter 3. Principles of Operation Valve Open To open the valve, follow the steps below: 1. Energize the solenoid with the appropriate voltage. 2. The three-way solenoid connects actuation air pressure to the control land of the second stage piston.
Released Manual 35091 GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valve Valve Closed To close the valve, follow the steps below: 1. De-energize the solenoid. 2. The three-way solenoid connects the pressure on the control land of the second stage piston to the vent.
GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valve Failsafe Principle The GSOV80 operates with three stages of valving. This design is necessary to ensure the high speed fuel isolation and maintain the low pressure drop/high flow rate valve. Each of the three stages is spring loaded with the force needed to ensure valve closure.
IEC61508. Reference SIL certificate WOO 1706093 C001. The functional safety requirement in this manual applies to all GSOV80 Gas Shutoff Valves. The SIL rated valves will have a DU FIT of less than 1415 for Tight Shutoff and 853 for Full Stroke versions. Contact Woodward for a copy of the SIL certificate.
“Proof Test” section below. The frequency of the proof test is determined by the overall safety system design, of which the GSOV80 is part of the safety system. The safety numbers are given in the following sections to help the system integrator determine the appropriate test interval.
Functional Testing after Initial Installation A functional test of the GSOV80 is required prior to use in a safety system. This should be done as part of the overall safety system installation check. For guidance on the functional test, see the Proof Test procedure below.
