9907-014 Woodward 2301A Speed Control

Product Overview

Housed in a durable sheet-metal chassis, the 9907-014 features a single printed circuit board with all potentiometers accessible from the front, simplifying on-site adjustments and maintenance. Its core functionality revolves around two key operating modes: isochronous mode for maintaining constant speed and external droop control for load-dependent speed regulation, making it versatile for both standalone and parallel operation of prime movers.

With a price of $2300 and in-stock availability, the 9907-014 Woodward 2301A is a reliable solution for industries requiring consistent performance and quick deployment.

Product Specifications

Features

Precise Speed Regulation

The 9907-014 Woodward 2301A excels in maintaining stable speed through its isochronous mode, which keeps the prime mover at a constant speed as long as it can handle the load. This is critical for applications where consistent rotational speed directly impacts output quality, such as power generation.

Flexible Load Sharing

Equipped with external droop control via a wired potentiometer, the unit enables speed adjustment as a function of load. This makes it ideal for prime movers operating on an infinite bus or in parallel with other units, ensuring balanced load distribution and preventing overloads.

User-Friendly Design

All potentiometers are positioned on the front of the chassis, allowing operators to make real-time adjustments without disassembling the unit. The compact, rugged build ensures durability in harsh industrial settings, from factory floors to offshore platforms.

Integrated System Compatibility

The 2301A system (including the 9907-014) seamlessly integrates with essential components: an external power source, a speed-sensing magnetic pickup (MPU), and a proportional actuator. This integration streamlines installation and ensures reliable communication between components for optimal performance.

Applications

The 9907-014 Woodward 2301A Speed Control is widely used across industries that rely on precise prime mover regulation:

Power Generation: Controls gas or steam turbines in power plants to maintain stable electricity output.

Industrial Machinery: Regulates diesel engines powering pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems in manufacturing facilities.

Marine Engineering: Manages the speed of shipboard engines to ensure smooth propulsion and fuel efficiency.

Oil & Gas: Controls gas turbines in pipeline compression stations, where consistent speed prevents pressure fluctuations.

FAQ

What is the main function of the 9907-014 Woodward 2301A Speed Control?

The 9907-014 regulates the speed or load of diesel/gas engines and steam/gas turbines, using isochronous mode for constant speed and external droop for load-dependent control.

How does isochronous mode work?

Isochronous mode maintains the prime mover at a constant speed by comparing the actual speed (sensed via MPU) to a reference voltage. The control adjusts the actuator until the two values match, ensuring consistent operation.

Is the 9907-014 Woodward 2301A available for immediate delivery?

Yes, the 9907-014 is in stock, with quick shipping from Xiamen upon order confirmation.

What components are required to operate the 2301A system?

The system requires the 9907-014 control unit, an external power source, an MPU (speed sensor), and a proportional actuator for fuel/steam metering.

Can the 9907-014 be used in parallel with other prime movers?

Yes, its external droop control allows seamless parallel operation, making it suitable for setups where multiple units share a load, such as in large power plants.

The 9907-014 Woodward 2301A Speed Control combines precision, durability, and flexibility, making it a top choice for industrial speed regulation. Its in-stock availability and competitive pricing further solidify its position as a reliable solution for critical applications.
