The Woodward 8407-605 is a specific part number for a TecJet™ 52 Gaseous Fuel Metering Valve. This valve is a key component in sophisticated engine control systems, particularly for natural gas or dual-fuel engines.
WOODWARD 8407-605: TecJet™ 52 Gaseous Fuel Metering Valve
The Woodward 8407-605 is an integrated, digitally-compensated control valve and actuator system designed specifically for precisely regulating and metering the flow of gaseous fuels (like natural gas, LPG, etc.) to an engine. It’s part of the TecJet™ family, known for its accuracy and responsiveness in demanding applications.
Product Overview
- Product Type: Gaseous Fuel Metering Valve / Integrated Valve and Actuator
- Manufacturer: Woodward
- Series: TecJet™ 52
- Function: Controls the amount of gaseous fuel delivered to an internal combustion engine. It receives a fuel rate demand signal from a higher-level engine control system and adjusts its internal valve position to deliver the precise flow.
- Key Features:
- Integrated Design: Combines the valve and actuator into a single unit for simplified installation and reduced complexity.
- Digital Compensation: Features onboard electronics that compensate for gas pressure and temperature, ensuring accurate mass flow metering regardless of variations in the gas supply. This is critical for optimal engine performance, efficiency, and emissions control.
- High Response: Designed for fast and precise adjustments to fuel flow, enabling tight engine control dynamics.
- Feedback Sensors: Incorporates internal sensors to monitor critical parameters like fuel pressure, temperature, and valve pressure differential.
- Application Protocol: The 8407-605 specifically uses the EGS-01 protocol, meaning it is designed to communicate with Woodward’s EGS-01 engine control system.
Detailed Description
The Woodward TecJet™ 52 valve, including the 8407-605, is crucial for modern gaseous and dual-fuel engines, allowing them to operate efficiently and meet stringent emission standards.
Key characteristics of the 8407-605:
- Precise Fuel Metering: The valve dynamically adjusts the fuel flow based on engine load and speed demands, ensuring the correct air/fuel ratio for optimal combustion.
- Closed-Loop Control: The integrated electronics and feedback sensors enable closed-loop control of fuel delivery, providing excellent accuracy and stability.
- Robust Construction: Built for the harsh conditions of engine environments, including vibrations, wide temperature fluctuations, and exposure to various gaseous fuels.
- EGS-01 Protocol: This specific variant is designed to seamlessly integrate and communicate with Woodward’s EGS-01 engine control platform, ensuring compatible data exchange and control logic. This is an important distinction, as other TecJet 52 variants might use different communication protocols (e.g., EGS-02, GECM, CANopen).
- Benefits: By enabling precise fuel control, TecJet valves contribute to:
- Increased engine efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.
- Lower exhaust emissions (e.g., NOx, CO, unburned hydrocarbons).
- Improved engine transient response.
- Enhanced reliability and simplified engine tuning.
Applications
The Woodward 8407-605 TecJet™ 52 valve is widely applied in various engine systems that run on gaseous fuels:
- Natural Gas Engines: Used on four-cycle, turbocharged engines for power generation (generator sets), marine propulsion, rail, and mining vehicles.
- Dual-Fuel Engines: Where engines can switch between or combine liquid and gaseous fuels.
- CHP (Combined Heat and Power) Plants: Ensuring efficient and clean operation of gas engines.
- Compressor Stations: For gas engines driving compressors in pipeline applications.
Replacement and Compatibility Notes
It is important to be aware of the generation and protocol when dealing with TecJet 52 valves:
- Non-RoHS vs. RoHS Variants: Woodward has produced both non-RoHS (older) and RoHS-compliant (newer) versions of the TecJet 52. While the RoHS variants (often from Generation 2) are typically 100% compatible with their non-RoHS counterparts in terms of function, always verify with Woodward documentation.
- Protocol Specificity: The 8407-605 specifically uses the EGS-01 protocol. If you are replacing this unit, ensure that the replacement also supports EGS-01 or that your engine control system is capable of communicating with a different protocol if you choose an alternative part number.
- Obsolescence: As a specific configuration of an older generation of TecJet (though still widely used), it’s always advisable to check current availability and potential recommended replacements from Woodward directly.
