8226-043 Woodward speed control module

The 8226-043 is a microprocessor-based digital governor controller produced by Woodward, belonging to its classic 505 series.
It is primarily designed for speed control and protection of steam turbines. Below is a detailed introduction to this product:

I. Product Overview

Brand and Model: Woodward 8226-043
Series: 505 Series Digital Governor
Type: Microprocessor-based controller
Purpose: Specifically designed for steam turbines to control their speed and provide overspeed protection.

II. Core Functions

Speed Control:
- 8226-043 Precisely controls the speed of steam turbines by adjusting steam inlet flow.
- Supports single-range or split-range actuators to accommodate turbines of different sizes.
Overspeed Protection:
- Incorporates triple independent overspeed protection logic to ensure rapid shutdown in case of overspeed, preventing equipment damage.
- Provides an overspeed test button for convenient on-site testing of protection functions.
Emergency Shutdown:
- Equipped with an emergency stop button for immediate shutdown in emergency situations.
System Protection:
- - Automatically switches control modes upon sensor failure to ensure uninterrupted system operation.
  - Offers local/remote control priority selection to adapt to different operational scenarios.

We know that in order to charge a battery, the output voltage of the solar panel must be higher than the current voltage of the battery.

If the voltage of the solar panel is lower than that of the battery, the output current will approach zero. Moreover, the output of solar

panels is not fixed, but rather a curve that varies with various conditions such as radiation intensity and environmental temperature.

Whether the solar panel can always operate at the maximum value of the IV curve reflects the designer”s different levels and abilities.

The working parameters of traditional solar charging controllers are set, and they transfer the power of solar panels in a set parameter manner

(either constant voltage or constant current), without changing according to changes in the surrounding environment; However, the natural environment such as solar radiation, surrounding temperature, and humidity are constantly changing; So, converting the energy of solar panels in a fixed way can easily cause the battery to be constantly under charged, and on the other hand,

it cannot fully utilize the solar panels during good weather, resulting in waste.
