WOODWARD 8928-7240

الوصف

The WOODWARD 8928-7240 is not an actuator itself, but rather an Adapter Manifold Kit. Specifically, it’s a CPC-II – CPC-I Converter Manifold or, more broadly, a Voith E360 I/H to CPC-II Adapter Manifold.

WOODWARD 8928-7240: CPC-II to CPC-I / Voith E360 I/H Adapter Manifold Kit

The WOODWARD 8928-7240 is a specialized kit designed to facilitate the upgrade or replacement of older Woodward CPC-I (Current-to-Pressure Converter, Generation I) units or Voith E360 I/H (Current-to-Hydraulic) Converters with the newer, more advanced Woodward CPC-II units. This manifold ensures seamless mechanical and hydraulic integration.

Product Overview

This part number designates a specific adapter manifold kit that serves as an interface to allow a CPC-II to physically and hydraulically connect into a system previously configured for either a CPC-I or a Voith E360 I/H.

• Product Type: Adapter Manifold Kit / Upgrade Kit Component
• Manufacturer: Woodward
• Part Number: 8928-7240
• Model Designation: CPC-II – CPC-I Converter Manifold (also functions as a Voith E360 I/H adapter)
• Function: Provides the necessary mounting and hydraulic connections to install a Woodward CPC-II Current-to-Pressure Converter in place of a legacy Woodward CPC-I or Voith E360 I/H unit. It eliminates the need for extensive modifications to existing hydraulic piping or mounting arrangements.
• Benefit: Significantly simplifies and speeds up the upgrade process, reducing downtime and installation complexity when replacing older hydraulic converters with Woodward’s advanced CPC-II technology.

Detailed Product Description

The Woodward 8928-7240 adapter manifold kit is a crucial component in modernization projects for industrial control systems, especially those involving steam turbines. It enables customers to leverage the benefits of the newer CPC-II without a complete overhaul of their hydraulic infrastructure.

• Mechanical Compatibility: The manifold’s design ensures that the mounting footprint and porting align with what would be expected for a CPC-I or Voith E360 I/H. This allows the CPC-II to bolt directly into the existing space, minimizing mechanical rework.
• Hydraulic Integration: It provides the correct hydraulic passages to route supply oil to and from the CPC-II, connecting it precisely to the turbine’s hydraulic system (e.g., to the single-acting servo of a turbine valve).
• Enables “Dirt Buster” Technology: While the manifold itself doesn’t possess this technology, it facilitates the integration of CPC-II units which are well-known for their patented “Dirt Buster” and “Silt Buster” technology. This refers to a robust design that allows the CPC-II to operate reliably even with contaminated oil (down to ISO20/16 cleanliness), a common challenge in older hydraulic systems. Upgrading to a CPC-II via this manifold helps mitigate issues related to oil contamination.
• Access to Enhanced Features: By enabling the use of a CPC-II, this manifold allows users to benefit from the CPC-II’s enhanced dynamic response, advanced control algorithms, diagnostic capabilities, and redundancy options (e.g., accepting redundant pressure demand inputs and internal health monitoring), which collectively improve overall turbine control system reliability and performance.

Typical Applications

The WOODWARD 8928-7240 adapter manifold kit is specifically used in contexts where:

• Modernization of Steam Turbines: It’s a key component in projects to upgrade turbine control systems that currently use older CPC-I or Voith E360 I/H units.
• Improved Reliability and Performance: By enabling the installation of a CPC-II, it contributes to improved control accuracy, responsiveness, and resilience to hydraulic oil contamination, thereby increasing overall system uptime and efficiency.
• Reduced Downtime for Upgrades: The manifold significantly reduces the complexity and time required for retrofits, minimizing operational interruptions.
