Product 8237-1597 can be equipped with turbines of any size and safely shut down the turbine in the event of unsafe acceleration. The bulkhead is fitted with steam, gas and hydraulic turbines and has three separate relays. It also uses a two-out-of-three voting architecture, as well as high and low voltage power inputs.

WOODWARD 8237-1597 Overspeed protection is a safety device used to monitor and protect turbine machinery such as gas turbines, steam turbines and water turbines. By monitoring the speed and acceleration of the turbine rotor, the device can safely shut down the turbine in case of excessive speed or excessive acceleration, thereby preventing equipment damage and accidents. Advantages and features:

High reliability: The WOODWARD 8237-1597 overspeed protection device is rigorously tested and certified, such as IEC61508 SIL-3 certification, to ensure reliable operation in a variety of harsh environments and conditions.

Intelligent monitoring: The device uses an active or passive magnetoelectric speed sensor (MPU) to monitor the speed and acceleration of the turbine rotor, enabling real-time monitoring and response to overspeed events.

Rapid response: In the event of excessive speed or acceleration, WOODWARD 8237-1597 can quickly issue a shutdown command to the turbine speed closing valve or the corresponding trip system, cutting off the power supply to the turbine in time to prevent further damage to the equipment.

Modular design: The protection device adopts a modular design to facilitate installation and maintenance, while improving the flexibility and scalability of the system. Compliance :WOODWARD 8237-1597 overspeed protection devices meet international standards such as AP1 670 to meet the needs of different industries and applications
