Woodward Fuel Metering Systems

Applications

Woodward Fuel Metering Systems or “Fuel Skids” are a complete fuel metering

product line incorporating the essential components needed for DLE engine

operation for industrial aeroderivative gas turbine platforms involved with

applications such as electrical power generation, gas compression,

and mechanical drive systems.

This fully validated, reliable, and simple drop-in solution is designed specifically

for rigorous DLE requirements.

Woodward system solutions provide high value-addedcontent at cost-effective prices.

Metering system products perform with all-electric valves and instrumentation

to eliminate the need for hydraulic or pneumatic input.

Woodward has established a pedigree of highly accurate flow metering valves and

instrumentation as well as highly effective system level solutions. Customers can

benefit from this expertise and expect high reliability, quality, service, and performance

from these products.

Description

Woodward fuel metering skids consist of multipath metering legs, each individually

controlled by a Woodward metering valve to the various combustor manifolds or cans.

For each flow path, high-accuracy, high-bandwidth pressure-sensing transducers are

incorporated in the fluid path to measure pressure. Temperature-sensing devices

are also placed within the flow path to transmit the fuel temperature to the turbine control.

The combination of these signals with the engine flow demands to each leg allow

the turbine control to compute the valve positions necessary to provide the correct

flow to the engine. When integrated shutoff valves are incorporated, the skid can

isolate the pressure supply from the engine in the event of a system shutdown.

Vent connections are provided in various locations to allow a customer-connected

exhaust gas stack.

Installation

Woodward fuel skids are custom designed to fit into customer-specified turbine package 

envelopes. Easy drop-in capabilities help to reduce cost and time during installation.

Our fuel skids make compliance and quality inspections easy with the supplied detailed documentation.
