General Information
Introduction
The HGV (Hydraulic Globe Valve) Gas Fuel Throttle Valve controls the flow
rate of natural gas fuel to various stages of an industrial gas turbine combustion
system. The unique design integrates the valve and actuator into a cost-effective,
compact assembly. The valve is designed to provide a highly accurate flowversus-stroke characteristic. The integral actuator is a single-acting spring-loaded
design that will quickly close the valve upon loss of electrical or hydraulic
signals. An onboard hydraulic filter is designed into the manifold to augment the
reliability of the servovalve and actuator. The servovalve is an electrically
redundant dual coil design. A dc-powered LVDT (DCDT) provides feedback for
the actuator.

Description
Dual Coil Electrohydraulic Servovalve Assembly
The hydraulic actuator assembly uses a two-stage hydraulic servovalve to
modulate the position of the actuator output shaft and thereby control the gas fuel
valves. The first stage torque motor utilizes a dual-wound coil, which controls the
position of the first and second stage valves in proportion to the total electric
current applied to the two coils.
If the control system requires a rapid movement of the valve to send more fuel to
the turbine, total current is increased well above the null current. In such a
condition, control port PC1 is connected to supply pressure. The flow rate
delivered to the piston cavity of the actuator is proportional to the total current
applied to the three coils. Thus, the opening velocity is also proportional to the
current (above null) supplied to the torque motor.
If the control system requires a rapid movement to close the gas fuel valve, the
total current is reduced well below the null current. In such a condition, port PC1
is connected to the hydraulic drain circuit. The flow rate from the piston cavity to
drain is proportional to the magnitude of the total current below the null value.
Thus, the closing velocity is also proportional to the current (below null) supplied
to the torque motor.
Near the null current, the four-landed valve isolates the control port from the
hydraulic supply and drain, balancing the piston pressure against the spring to
maintain a constant position. The control system, which regulates the amount of
current delivered to the coils, modulates the current supplied to the coil to obtain
proper closed loop position of the valve.

HGV Gas Fuel Throttle Valve

Manual 26170

Trip Relay Valve Assembly

The Fuel Gas Throttle valve uses a solenoid-operated trip relay circuit to operate
a high capacity, three-way two-position, hydraulically-operated valve which
quickly closes the Gas Fuel Throttle valve. This trip relay circuit consists of four
functional elements. These include the trip relay solenoid valve, the trip relay
supply orifice, the hydraulically operated trip valve, and the trip relay volume.
In the normal run mode, the trip relay solenoid valve is closed, which prevents
the trip relay volume from bleeding to the hydraulic return. As a result, high
pressure oil is fed into the trip relay circuit through the supply orifice, which
quickly pressurizes the trip circuit to supply pressure. When the trip circuit
pressure increases above 124207 kPa (1830 psig), the three-way relay valve
shifts position so that the common port connects the control port of the servovalve to the lower piston cavity of the actuator, allowing the servo-valve to
position the throttle valve.

Hydraulic Filter Assembly

The valve is supplied with an integrated, high-capacity filter. The broad range
filter protects the internal hydraulic control components from large oil-borne
contaminants that might cause the hydraulic components to stick or operate
erratically. The filter is supplied with a visual indicator and high differential
pressure switch, to indicate when the recommended pressure differential has been
exceeded, and when replacement of the element is necessary.

DC Powered LVDT (DCDT) Position Feedback Sensor

The Gas Fuel Throttle valves use a DCDT feedback device with integral
excitation and demodulation circuitry. The device uses a dc supply voltage to
generate a feedback signal which spans a 010 Vdc nominal range from
minimum to maximum travel.

Installation
General
See the outline drawings (Figures 1-3) for:
Overall dimensions
Process piping flange locations
Hydraulic fitting sizes
Electrical connections
Lift points and center of gravity
Weight of the valve
Installation attitude does not affect actuator or fuel valve performance, but a
vertical position is generally preferred to conserve floor space as well as ease of
making electrical, fuel, and hydraulic connections and changing the hydraulic
filter element. The gas fuel throttle valve is designed for support by the piping
flanges alone; additional supports are neither needed nor recommended. Do not
use this valve to provide support to any component other than the piping to
which it is directly connected.
The orientation of the visual position indicator may be changed to accommodate
surrounding obstructions, if any. See Chapter 4 for instructions to change the
orientation.

WARNING
Due to typical noise levels in turbine environments, hearing
protection should be worn when working on or around the gas valve.
Burn HazardThe surface of this product can become hot enough or
cold enough to be a hazard. Use protective gear for product handling
in these circumstances . Temperature ratings are included in the
specification section of this manual.

CAUTION
Explosion HazardExternal fire protection is not provided in the
scope of this product. It is the responsibility of the user to satisfy any
applicable requirements for their system.

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.

Piping Installation
Refer to ANSI B16.5 for details of flange, gasket, and bolt types and dimensions.
This is a globe-style valve. Verify that the process piping face-to-face dimensions
meet the requirements of the outline drawings (Figures 1-3) within standard
piping tolerances. The valve should mount between the piping interfaces such
that the flange bolts can be installed with only manual pressure applied to align
the flanges. Mechanical devices such as hydraulic or mechanical jacks, pulleys,
chain-falls, or similar should never be used to force the piping system to align
with the valve flanges.
ASTM/ASME grade bolts or studs should be used to install the valve into the
process piping. The length and diameter for Class 300 flanges shall conform to
the following table according to the valve flange size.

Flange gasket materials should conform to ANSI B16.20. The user should select
a gasket material which will withstand the expected bolt loading without
injurious crushing, and which is suitable for the service conditions.
When installing the valve into the process piping, it is important to properly
torque the stud/bolts in the appropriate sequence in order to keep the flanges of
the mating hardware parallel to each other. A two-step torque method is
recommended. Once the studs/bolts are hand tightened, torque the studs/bolts in a
crossing pattern to half the torque value listed in the following table. Once all
studs/bolts have been torqued to half the appropriate value, repeat the pattern
until the rated torque value is obtained.

HGV Gas Fuel Throttle Valve

Hydraulic Connections
There are two hydraulic connections that must be made to each valve: supply and
return oil. The connections to the valve are 0.75 OD tube fittings. The tubing up
to the valve must be constructed to eliminate any transfer of vibration or other
forces into the valve.
Make provisions for proper filtration of the hydraulic fluid that will supply the
actuator. The system filtration should be designed to assure a supply of hydraulic
oil with a maximum ISO 4406 contamination level of 18/16/13 and a preferred
level of 16/14/11. The filter element included with the actuator is not intended to
provide adequate filtration over the entire life of the actuator.
The hydraulic supply to the actuator needs to be 19.05 mm (0.750 inch) tubing
capable of supplying 18 L/min (10 US gallons/min) at 827411 722 kPa
(12001700 psig).
The hydraulic drain should be 19.05 mm (0.750 inch) tubing and must not restrict
the flow of fluid from the valve. The drain pressure must not exceed 207 kPa (30
psig) under any condition.

Electrical Connections
CAUTION
Do not connect any cable grounds to instrument ground, control
ground, or any non-earth ground system.
The use of cable with individually-shielded twisted pairs is required. All signal
lines are to be shielded to prevent picking up stray signals from nearby
equipment. Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) require
shielded cable run in conduit, double-shielded wire, or other precautions.
Connect the shields at the control system side or as indicated by the control
system wiring practices, but never at both ends of the shield such that a ground
loop is created. Wires exposed beyond the shield must be less than 2 inches (51
mm). The wiring needs to provide signal attenuation to greater than 60 dB.

Dynamic Tuning Parameters for TXP Controller

(Dynamic testing is in progress to determine proper parameters.)

Rigging Procedure
Inside the electrical enclosure of the valve, there is an adhesive label that
contains the appropriate valve position (as a percent of full stroke), the physical
stroke (inches), and the corresponding DCDT feedback signals.

Woodward

19

HGV Gas Fuel Throttle Valve

Manual 26170

Once the control system is connected to the valve and control of the valve is
established, de-energize the trip solenoid valve to ensure that the valve moves to
the closed position. Measure the feedback voltage from the DCDT. Adjust the
offset in the feedback loop until the feedback voltage matches the documented
value on the label inside the electrical enclosure for the 0% position. Set the
100% position demand, measure the actual physical travel position, and adjust
the span of the control channel so that the physical travel matches the value on
the label inside the electrical enclosure. Use Woodward Tool part number
1008-4446, installed in place of the visual position indicator, and an accurate
position indicating device to measure the physical travel of the valve (see Figure
3-2). Verify that the valve moves to the proper positions by commanding the
control to 0% and 100%, and recheck the physical positions.

NOTE
The DCDT feedback voltage, measured at the terminals in the
electrical enclosure, should be approximately as listed on the label.

Maintenance and Hardware Replacement
Maintenance
The Gas Fuel Throttle Valve requires no maintenance or adjustment for
operation.
Woodward recommends routine checks of the DP gauge on the filter assembly to
verify that the filter is not partially clogged. If the DP indicator shows red, the
filter element needs to be replaced.
Woodward recommends routine checks of the fugitive gas sensor. If the sensor
indicates excessive gas leakage, the seals need to be replaced.
In the event that any of the standard components of the valve become
inoperative, field replacement is possible. Contact a Woodward representative for
assistance.

Hardware Replacement
WARNINGS
To prevent possible serious personal injury, or damage to equipment,
be sure all electric power, hydraulic pressure, and gas pressure have
been removed from the valve and actuator before beginning any
maintenance or repairs.
Do not lift or handle the valve by any conduit. Lift or handle the valve
only by using the eyebolts.
Due to typical noise levels in turbine environments, hearing
protection should be worn when working on or around the valve.
Burn HazardThe surface of this product can become hot enough or
cold enough to be a hazard. Use protective gear for product handling
in these circumstances . Temperature ratings are included in the
specification section of this manual.
To facilitate field replacement of items, spare parts should be kept on-site. See
the outline drawing (Figures 1-3) for the locations of items. Contact Woodward

Troubleshooting
Gas Fuel Throttle Valve not functioning correctly when using
customer control system.
Perform steps 33 through 37 of the DCDT replacement procedure earlier in this
chapter. Troubleshooting tool (Woodward part number 1008-4446) can be
installed in place of the visual indicator to assist in mechanically determining
valve stroke (verify that the valve is at the minimum position).
1. Remove two socket head cap screws holding the visual indicator onto the
valve actuator.
2. Remove the visual indicator.
3. Using the same two cap screws, attach tool 1008-4446 (available from
Woodward) to the actuator. Be sure to place the pin of the sliding piece onto
the top of the piston within the actuator housing.
4. Using a customer-supplied travel indicator with a total stroke greater than
1.60 inches (40.6 mm) placed on top of the sliding piece of the tool, attach
the indicator to the actuator housing. Zero the indicator.
5. Raise the servovalve current to 8.0 0.5 mA. The valve should move fully
open.
6. The maximum travel should match the value recorded within the electrical
enclosure. If this value is not the same, contact Woodward for
recommendations.
7. If this value matches the recorded value, check the feedback voltage of the
DCDT vs the recorded value in the electrical enclosure.

Woodward

27

HGV Gas Fuel Throttle Valve

Manual 26170

8. If the feedback voltage does not match, verify that the excitation voltage is
correct. If the excitation voltage is correct, and the DCDT output voltage
does not match the values listed on the calibration sticker, contact Woodward
for a replacement DCDT and follow the steps listed within this document for
replacement.
9. If the feedback and physical stroke values match the recorded values
supplied with the valve, then the control system is not functioning properly.
Refer to the control system manufacturer for troubleshooting assistance.

Troubleshooting Charts
Faults in the fuel control or governing system are often associated with speed
variations of the prime mover, but such speed variations do not always indicate
fuel control or governing system faults. Therefore, when improper speed
variations occur, check all components including the engine or turbine for proper
operation. Refer to applicable electronic control manuals for assistance in
isolating the trouble. The following steps describe troubleshooting for the gas
fuel throttle valve.
Disassembly of the gas fuel throttle valve in the field is not recommended due to
the dangerous forces contained in the springs. Under unusual circumstances
where disassembly becomes necessary, all work and adjustments should be made
by personnel thoroughly trained in the proper procedures.
When requesting information or service help from Woodward, it is important to
include the part number and serial number of the valve assembly in your
communication.
