Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the
following precautions to prevent damage to these parts:
 Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to
the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain
Electrostatic contact while handling the control).
Precautions  Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions)
around printed circuit boards.
 Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit
board with your hands or with conductive devices.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
 Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
 Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
 When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.

General Information
Introduction
The 3151A Water Valve/TM-40LP Actuator assembly meters water to gas-turbine
combustors as part of a nitrous oxide (NOx) emission-reduction system.
Water Valve
The 3151A Water Valve is intended for use with high-pressure centrifugal-type
pumps and provides metered bypass flow for pump-stability and heat-balance
considerations.
The water valve is primarily constructed of stainless steel. A replaceable,

hardened, stainless-steel sleeve is located in the drain flange area of the valve
housing, and protects the housing from cavitation damage. The sleeve can be
rotated in one-quarter turn increments, or it can be replaced, to extend valve life
when used in severe conditions.
Ceramic is used on metering valve and regulator valve parts to prevent galling
and to resist erosion in an area subjected to high-velocity water streams.
These design features make the 3151A water valve highly resistant to erosion,
corrosion, and cavitation.
The water valve is designed to meter water up to 250 L/min (66 US gal/min) with
input water pressures from 2413 to 10 342 kPa (350 to 1500 psi). The minimum
flow is one gallon of water per minute, dependent upon inlet pressure.
The degree-of-flow accuracy is either 5.0% of point or 0.5% of maximum flow—

whichever value is greater.
Standard seal material allows operation with water temperatures up to 66 °C

(150 °F). The minimum operating temperature is 0 °C (32 °F).
Actuator
The TM-40LP Actuator is an electrohydraulic, proportional actuator of the
"extend-with-increasing-current" design. The actuator may be used with many
Woodward digital and analog electronic controls. It is contained in an aluminum
case with internal parts of hardened, stainless steel.
The TM-40LP Actuator receives commands from an electronic control to position

the water valve. The control may be calibrated so that the water valve closely
follows the fuel-flow schedule to prevent unwanted water insertion during turbine
load swings.
A dual-coil torque motor is available with the TM-40LP actuator permitting

redundancy in this part of the actuator. The dual-coils can either be used
independently or together to load share.

LVDT Option
An optional LVDT may be used on the water valve/actuator assembly. The LVDT
senses the position of the assembly's actuator and sends an appropriate signal
to the electronic control. This allows the electronic control to closely monitor the
valve's position in relation to the fuel-regulating device and to provide greater
metering accuracy.
Contact Woodward for information regarding UL approval if using

this actuator in hazardous locations.

Installation
Introduction
During installation, handle the valve/actuator with care. Improper handling can
ruin seals, mating surfaces, and factory adjustments. Keep all plastic shipping
caps and covers in place until ready to connect normal service/supply lines.
Packaging and Storage

The water valve/actuator assembly is calibrated and then drained of fluid at the
factory. The assembly is bolted to a transportation skid and shipped in a
protective box. Additional cleaning or calibration prior to installing and operating
unit is not necessary.
The water valve/actuator assembly may be stored as received from the factory
for a short period of time prior to installation.
Normally, Woodward considers short-term storage duration to be

one month; however, environmental conditions may dictate either an
increase or a decrease in a short-term storage period.
For long-term storage, or storing a previously used unit, refer to Woodward

manual 25075, Commercial Preservation Packaging for Storage of Mechanical-
Hydraulic Controls.
General Installation
The 3151A Water Valve MUST be installed with the pressure taps facing up and
the axis vertical. This places the drain in a down position and ensures adequate
water drainage.
Refer to the outline drawing, Figure 2-2, for:

 Overall dimensions
 Location of installation holes
 Hydraulic fitting sizes
 Electrical connection locations
Actuator Installation
Be sure that the hydraulic fluid used to supply the actuator is properly filtered.
Woodward recommends:
 A 10 µm (nominal) filter to achieve ISO 4406 20/18/15 cleanliness
 Installing the filter within 1 meter of supply port
 Keeping the immediate area free of dirt and other contaminants during the
installation process
4 Woodward
Supply pressure for the actuator may be provided by either positive-displacement
or centrifugal-type pumps. Woodward recommends installation of a pressure
switch to be sure that correct supply pressure is present before start-up and to
ensure pressure is continually maintained during actuator operation.
Be sure all hydraulic connections are correctly assembled and tight.
Water Valve Installation

The water valve must be installed with the drain port at the bottom to provide
proper water drainage.
Since the valve contains a replaceable/rotatable sleeve at the drain flange, a

minimum clearance of 89 mm (152 mm max.)/3.5 inches (6.0 inches max.) must
be provided for the sleeve's removal or rotation. This consideration is especially
important in operations with more than 6200 kPa (900 psi) water inlet pressure.
The proper clearance can be obtained by constructing a piece of removable pipe
in the drain line, or by constructing the drain so it can swing away from the valve
housing.
Electrical Connections
TM-40LP actuators are supplied with receptacle or conduit type electrical
connections. Figure 2-3 illustrates a typical wiring diagram for the assembly when
it is used with Woodward equipment. If your system-wiring diagram shows a
different wiring scheme, or if you need further wiring information, contact
Woodward. In applications where the actuator is not used with a Woodward
control, electrical input requirements will be supplied upon request.

Start-up and Adjustment
Initial Operation
Before initial use of the water valve/assembly, be sure that all installation steps
found in this and/or accompanying manuals have been completed. All electrical
connections, hydraulic fittings, and water fittings must be properly and securely
installed.
Air trapped within the hydraulic system may cause erratic behavior
of the actuator during the first few minutes of initial operation.
Proper actuator hydraulic supply pressure must be established before start-up.
Woodward recommends adequate dither be used on all hydraulic actuators to

minimize mA threshold and hysteresis which can result from second stage static
friction or hydraulic contamination.
Dither is a low amplitude, relatively high frequency periodic signal that is

superimposed on the servovalve input current signal. A typical dither signal
generated by a Woodward control is:
 25 Hz, 0–10 mA (tunable) amplitude
 25% duty cycle, bipolar, square wave
Adequate dither is defined as that amount which produces no more than 0.013
mm (0.0005 inch) total oscillation in output shaft position.
Adjustments
Normally, all operating adjustments on the 3151A Water Valve TM-40LP Actuator
assembly are made to customer specifications at the factory. The unit should not
require further adjustment.
Do not attempt adjustments to the actuator unless thoroughly

familiar with procedures. The water valve/actuator assembly is not
field adjustable. See "Troubleshooting" in Chapter 4 of this manual.
Null current shifts of up to ±4% of maximum rated current (200 mA) can occur
due to variations in the following parameters:
 hydraulic supply and return pressures
 hydraulic fluid temperature
 servovalve and actuator wear
Due to the inherent null shifts and position drift of all hydraulic servovalves and
proportional actuators, engine control applications must be designed with these
errors in mind.
8 Woodward
Inspection
Woodward recommends periodic inspection of the sleeve until you are able to
determine an appropriate length of time between index operations. If the water
pressure exceeds 6200 kPa (900 psi), the sleeve should be indexed at least after
every 4320 hours of operation (6 months of continuous operation). However, you
should be aware that service life of the sleeve is dependent on several factors--
two important factors are water pressure and water purity. After four indexing
operations, remove the sleeve and inspect for excessive cavitation damage of
the interior surface.
Water must meet all purity and deionization requirements as

established by the turbine manufacturer.
When indexing the sleeve, loosen the four drain-flange bolts, insert a 3/32 inch
(~2.4 mm) allen wrench or a 1/8 inch (~3 mm) diameter punch in one of the four
spanner holes, and turn the sleeve 1/4 turn. In order to help reposition the
sleeve, the spanner holes are numbered and an index is marked on the drain
flange (see Figure 3-1). The appropriate spanner hole should be aligned with the
flange index. After four repositioning operations, the sleeve should be removed
and examined.
To remove the sleeve, insert a punch or an allen wrench into a spanner hole.
Place a screwdriver, or other lever, between the punch (allen wrench) and the
flange face. Pry up until sleeve loosens and can be removed from the valve.
When free of the valve body, examine the interior surface of the sleeve for
excessive pitting or distortion. Discoloration and minor wear of the internal
surface is normal. If sleeve exhibits excessive pitting or distortion, replace it.
The sleeve contains an O-ring located in a groove on the surface of the outer
diameter. Anytime the sleeve is removed, the O-ring should be replaced.
A replacement sleeve or O-ring may be ordered from Woodward.
Woodward 9

Chapter 4.
Maintenance
Indexing Drain-Flange Sleeve

The cavitation-resistant sleeve located in the drain flange should be indexed on a
routine basis. The frequency of sleeve rotation is determined by the amount of
water found in each application. If uncertain of a rotation frequency, a period of
not more than 4320 operational hours is suggested as a possible operating
period between rotations.
Chapter 3 of this manual, "Operation and Adjustment," contains instructions on

the adjustment and removal of the drain-flange sleeve.
Filter Cleaning
The TM-40LP actuator is equipped with a filter fitting located at the supply
connection. If the filter becomes clogged, as evidenced by sluggish response, it
may be removed, cleaned ultrasonically, and then back flushed with a light
solvent. The O-ring (P/N 40120-003) may require replacement if the filter is
removed.
Do not operate the valve/actuator assembly with the inlet filter fitting
or the in-line filter removed or bypassed. Momentary exposure of the
actuator to contaminants can cause internal damage.
Troubleshooting
If variations in water delivery occur, inspect all components, including the turbine,
for proper operation. Refer to the correct Woodward control manual for
assistance in isolating the problem.
Field disassembly or adjustment of the 3151A Water Valve/TM-40LP Actuator

assembly is not recommended. All work and adjustments should be performed
by personnel thoroughly in the proper procedures.
When requesting information or service from Woodward, be sure to specify the

part number and serial number of your valve/actuator assembly.

Woodward Factory Servicing Options

The following factory options for servicing Woodward products are available
through your local Full-Service Distributor or the OEM or Packager of the
equipment system, based on the standard Woodward Product and Service
Warranty (5-01-1205) that is in effect at the time the product is originally shipped
from Woodward or a service is performed:
 Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
 Flat Rate Repair
 Flat Rate Remanufacture
Replacement/Exchange: Replacement/Exchange is a premium program

designed for the user who is in need of immediate service. It allows you to
request and receive a like-new replacement unit in minimum time (usually within
24 hours of the request), providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the
request, thereby minimizing costly downtime. This is a flat-rate program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205).
This option allows you to call your Full-Service Distributor in the event of an
unexpected outage, or in advance of a scheduled outage, to request a
replacement control unit. If the unit is available at the time of the call, it can
usually be shipped out within 24 hours. You replace your field control unit with
the like-new replacement and return the field unit to the Full-Service Distributor.
Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned within 60 days, a credit for the core charge will be issued.
Flat Rate Repair: Flat Rate Repair is available for the majority of standard
products in the field. This program offers you repair service for your products with
the advantage of knowing in advance what the cost will be. All repair work carries
the standard Woodward service warranty (Woodward Product and Service
Warranty 5-01-1205) on replaced parts and labor.
Flat Rate Remanufacture: Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat
Rate Repair option with the exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like-
new” condition and carry with it the full standard Woodward product warranty
(Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable
to mechanical products only.
