WOODWARD 9907-164 505 Digital Steam Turbine Governor Control

🔨The Woodward 9907-164 is a 505E Digital Governor for single-extraction and/or admission steam turbines. It provides speed and extraction-pressure control with dedicated start, stop, control, and protection algorithms for steam turbines or turboexpanders driving generators, compressors, pumps, and industrial fans. Its PID-based control structure manages critical steam-plant parameters such as turbine speed and extraction/admission pressure, making it a standard control and spare module for installed Woodward 505E governor systems.
