8236-144

WOODWARD 8236‑144 is a microprocessor‑based digital speed & load governor controller from Woodward’s 2301 series control platform, designed for single‑valve small‑scale steam/gas turbines, turbo expanders, diesel/gas engine‑driven generator sets. It integrates speed regulation, load control, overspeed protection and valve‑position control, widely used in waste‑heat power generation, industrial cogeneration, oil‑gas and marine power systems.

Description

Key Features

  • Supports isochronous (zero‑droop) and droop control modes for standalone constant‑speed operation or multi‑unit parallel load sharing

  • Accepts magnetic pickup (MPU) speed signal (1–30 V AC); supports 4‑20 mA / 1‑5 VDC remote speed/load setpoint input

  • Built‑in overspeed protection, startup fuel limiting, deceleration control and valve‑position limit functions

  • Comprehensive self‑diagnosis for sensor faults, signal loss and abnormal operation with alarm output

  • Directly drives electro‑hydraulic proportional actuators; compatible with Woodward synchronizers and DCS/PLC systems

  • Industrial‑grade wide‑temperature, anti‑EMI and anti‑vibration design for harsh industrial environments
