The WOODWARD 8923-2146 is a replacement kit for a very specific and critical component within a Woodward safety system. It’s identified as an Isolation Manifold Replacement Kit.
WOODWARD 8923-2146: Isolation Manifold Replacement Kit
The WOODWARD 8923-2146 is a vital maintenance part designed to facilitate the repair and ensure the continued, safe operation of certain Woodward control systems, specifically the QuickTrip overspeed protection system. It’s not a standalone operational component, but rather a kit containing the necessary parts to replace an isolation manifold.
Product Overview
This kit is crucial for maintaining the hydraulic integrity and the ability to perform on-line maintenance within a redundant QuickTrip safety system.
- Product Type: Replacement Kit
- Manufacturer: Woodward
- Part Number: 8923-2146
- Component Replaced: Isolation Manifold
- Purpose: To replace a damaged or faulty isolation manifold within a Woodward QuickTrip unit. The isolation manifold is a critical hydraulic component that allows individual parts of the redundant system (like solenoid valves) to be isolated for servicing without taking the entire safety system offline.
- Benefit: Ensures the continued ability to perform “online repair” of the QuickTrip system, which is crucial for maximizing turbine uptime and maintaining high safety reliability. It helps maintain the system’s hydraulic integrity and operational flexibility.
Detailed Product Description
The Woodward 8923-2146 kit would typically include the isolation manifold itself, along with any necessary seals, gaskets, or fasteners required for proper installation and to ensure a leak-free hydraulic connection. The QuickTrip system (e.g., models like 0-9907-1978, 1-9907-1978, etc.) is a critical safety device known for its SIL-3 certification and 2-out-of-3 (2oo3) voting logic. The isolation manifold is integral to this design, allowing one of the three solenoid paths to be isolated while the other two maintain the safety function, making on-line maintenance possible.
Using a genuine Woodward replacement kit ensures:
- Proper Hydraulic Function: The manifold is precisely machined to ensure correct hydraulic flow and pressure routing within the QuickTrip system.
- System Integrity: Ensures that the critical 2oo3 voting logic and on-line repair capabilities of the QuickTrip system are fully restored and maintained.
- Material Compatibility: The manifold and associated seals are compatible with the hydraulic fluids and operating conditions of the QuickTrip system.
- Maintained Certifications: Replacing this critical component with an OEM kit helps ensure that the QuickTrip unit’s safety (SIL-3) and hazardous area (if applicable) certifications remain valid.
Technical Specifications (General for an Isolation Manifold Kit)
Typical Use
The WOODWARD 8923-2146 Isolation Manifold Replacement Kit is typically used by highly trained maintenance personnel or authorized service providers in industrial settings where QuickTrip systems are deployed:
- Power Generation Plants: For performing maintenance on QuickTrip units installed on steam, gas, or hydro turbines, crucial for ensuring continuous power generation while maintaining safety.
- Oil & Gas Facilities: In plants where QuickTrip safety systems are employed on critical rotating machinery (compressors, pumps) that operate in demanding and often hazardous environments.
- Anywhere Woodward QuickTrip Systems Are Used: To perform routine maintenance or corrective repairs on units where the isolation manifold has been identified as needing replacement, thereby preserving the system’s high availability and safety integrity.
