Woodward TG-13 Speed Governor Operation Manual
Model: 8516-038 (Cast Aluminum Mechanical-Hydraulic Governor)
Pre-Operation Checks
-
System Verification
- Confirm governor is installed per NEMA 12/13 enclosure ratings with ≥50mm clearance for ventilation1
- Verify hydraulic oil level (ISO VG 32) within sight glass range
- Check linkage alignment: Output shaft-to-steam valve tolerance ≤0.15mm
-
Safety Interlocks
- Ensure overspeed test device (OTSD) is disabled if model 9904-814 is installed4
- Validate emergency trip circuit continuity (24V DC monitoring loop)
Startup Sequence
Step 1: Hydraulic System Priming
1. Open oil fill port (1/4" NPT) and fill until level reaches midpoint of sight glass
2. Manually rotate drive shaft 3-5 revolutions to prime oil pump
3. Verify oil pressure: 2.8-3.2 bar (40-45 psi) at rated speed
Step 2: Speed Adjustment
| Control | Procedure | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Speed Setpoint | Turn knob clockwise to increase speed | 6mm hex key |
| Droop Adjustment | 1 rotation ≈ 4% speed droop change | Flat-blade screwdriver |
| Compensation Needle | Set to 1.5 turns open for stable response | 3mm Allen wrench |
Normal Operation Monitoring
[Parameter Checks]
• Vibration: ≤2.5mm/s RMS (measured at drive shaft)
• Oil Temperature: 40-60°C (104-140°F)
• Output Shaft Oscillation: ≤±0.5° at steady state
[Alarm Conditions]
- RED lamp: Overspeed (>110% rated speed)
- YELLOW lamp: Low oil pressure (<1.7 bar)
