Woodward metering gas valve
GS16
Gas Valve, 1.5", SR, AN/DN/CO
Woodward's GS16 gas control valve is an on-board driver electrically actuated control valve used on industrial gas turbine engines. The gas throttling section of the valve uses a self-cleaning, shear type of action that keeps the 1.5" control port free of contamination that can inhibit optimal performance. This GS16 gas valve is rated for 750 psi, and has an electrically actuated on-board driver with single resolver, analog/DeviceNet or CAN Open communication and can accommodate fuel gas or ambient temperatures to 200°F (93°C).
FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITY
The Woodward GS16 gas control valve is electrically actuated for use on industrial and aero derivative gas turbines that require gas fuel flows up to 30,000 lb/hr (13607 kg/hr). The assembly provides a reliable, cost-effective interface between electronic control systems and gas turbines used in electrical power generation, compressor, or mechanical drive applications. The valve assembly can be used for base turbines or in a multiple valve configuration for low emissions requirements.
The GS16 valve assembly combines a highly robust Woodward self-cleaning metering valve with a high-torque actuator to ensure extended operation in all types of gaseous fuel service. The valve assembly features an on-board electronic controller module for ease of system packaging and installation.
GS16’s gas throttling section of the valve uses a self-cleaning, shear type of action that keeps the control port free of contamination that can inhibit optimal performance. Three control port sizes are available (1.0”, 1.5”, 2.0”) for optimized fuel flow in a variety of application scenarios. The GS16 gas valve is electrically actuated with an on-board driver and can accommodate fuel gas or ambient temperatures to 200°F (93°C).
