Product Description
Woodward A8516-038/9 is a mechanical-hydraulic governor of the TG‑13 series, a classic mechanical speed regulator for steam turbines manufactured by Woodward. A8516-038/9 is a variant configuration of TG‑13. It adopts hydraulic servo control for droop speed regulation without electronic boards. Robust construction makes it suitable for harsh environments. It adjusts the steam inlet valve opening to control turbine speed and load. This model is discontinued and serves as a high-value spare part for legacy steam turbines in power plants and chemical captive power stations for maintenance and overhaul.
