SPECIFICATIONS
Part Number: 5464-826
Manufacturer: Woodward
Product type: Dual Solenoid Monitor
Availability: In Stock
Country of Manufacture: United States (USA)
Functional Description
5464-826 is a Dual Solenoid Monitor developed by Woodward. It features a dual-channel architecture with completely independent components, minimizing the impact of single-channel failures. Primarily used with GE LM gas turbines alongside a Dual Overspeed Module.
Features
- Independent Solenoid Monitoring: The module is designed to monitor two separate solenoid currents. Each channel operates independently, reducing the risk of system-wide failure in case of a single component issue.
- Quick Detection and Response: Using discrete and analog components, the module minimizes detection time and ensures rapid signal output when an event occurs, enhancing the system's responsiveness during critical situations.
- Dual Channel Architecture: The module is built with two fully isolated channels. This design ensures that a failure in one channel does not impact the functionality of the other, improving reliability and operational safety.
- Primary Application: The module is primarily utilized with GE LM gas turbines in conjunction with a Dual Overspeed Module. It interfaces directly with the gas turbine fuel inlet solenoid valves, a critical component in controlling fuel flow and ensuring efficient turbine operation.
- External Solenoid Driver Components: The module requires external solenoid driver components to interface with the fuel valve solenoids. These drivers are mounted externally to dissipate heat effectively, preventing overheating and maintaining module performance.
- Adjustable Parameters: The module includes two factory-set potentiometers for adjusting the undercurrent trip points of the solenoid currents. This allows precise calibration tailored to specific operational requirements.
- Built-In Testing Features: Each channel is equipped with test features, enabling individual channel testing for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes.
- MicroNet Rack Compatibility: The module plugs directly into any slot of a MicroNet rack. However, it does not interface with the data or address buses of the MicroNet. Its only connection to the MicroNet backplane is for power supply inputs.
Benefits
- By monitoring and controlling solenoid current inputs, the module helps prevent system failures caused by solenoid malfunctions.
- The independent dual-channel design ensures continuous operation even if one channel encounters an issue.
- The ability to adjust undercurrent trip points and quickly detect issues contributes to efficient turbine operation.
- The module’s compatibility with MicroNet racks and external solenoid drivers simplifies installation and system integration.
