The WOODWARD 8923-1996 is a replacement kit, specifically designed for the maintenance of a larger Woodward system.
WOODWARD 8923-1996: CPC Replacement Kit (10 Bar, Zone 2, for CPC-DX Skid)
The WOODWARD 8923-1996 is a crucial spare part for users of Woodward’s CPC-DX Dual Redundant Skids. It is not a complete functional unit on its own, but rather a kit containing the necessary components to replace a single CPC unit within such a redundant skid system.
Product Overview
This part number is part of Woodward’s service and support offerings, ensuring that critical industrial control systems can be maintained and repaired efficiently, minimizing downtime.
- Product Type: Replacement Kit
- Manufacturer: Woodward
- Part Number: 8923-1996
- Purpose: To replace a CPC (Current-to-Pressure Converter) unit within a CPC-DX Dual Redundant Skid.
- Compatibility: This specific kit is for CPC-DX skids designed for a 10 bar (0-145 psi) output pressure range and certified for Zone 2 hazardous locations.
- Benefit: Enables on-line repair or replacement of a faulty CPC unit within a redundant skid, allowing the system to continue operating with the remaining healthy CPC, thus maintaining high availability.
Detailed Product Description
The Woodward 8923-1996 kit allows for the field repair and maintenance of a CPC-DX (Current-to-Pressure Converter – Dual Transfer) skid. The CPC-DX skid typically contains two CPC-II units operating in a master/slave or redundant configuration. If one of these CPC-II units needs to be replaced due to a fault or for preventative maintenance, this kit provides the correct replacement unit and associated components.
- Integrated with CPC-DX Skids: The CPC-DX (e.g., part number 8918-118 for the 10 bar, Zone 2 model) is a highly reliable system that provides bumpless transfer if one of its internal CPCs fails. This kit is essential for restoring the full redundancy of such a system after a failure.
- “Dirt Buster” Technology: The replacement CPC unit included in this kit would feature Woodward’s “Dirt Buster” (or “Silt Buster”) technology. This robust design makes the CPC highly tolerant to contaminated hydraulic oil, which is a common issue in industrial environments and contributes to the long-term reliability of the system.
- Zone 2 Rating: The kit ensures that the replacement components maintain the original system’s certification for Zone 2 hazardous areas, which is critical for safety and compliance in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or mists may occasionally be present.
- Enables On-Line Repair: One of the key advantages of the CPC-DX skid is its ability to allow for on-line replacement or repair of individual CPCs without shutting down the entire turbine or process. This kit facilitates that capability.

Typical Use
The WOODWARD 8923-1996 CPC Replacement Kit is typically used by maintenance personnel or authorized service providers in:
- Power Generation Plants: For routine maintenance or emergency repair of CPC-DX skids controlling steam turbines.
- Industrial Facilities: In any process requiring highly reliable and continuous operation of single-acting hydraulic actuators driven by a CPC-DX system.
- Scheduled or Unscheduled Maintenance: To replace a CPC unit that has reached its service life or has experienced a fault, restoring the full redundancy of the CPC-DX skid.
