Woodward 8901-037 Single-Cylinder Booster
Description
The 8901-037 is a single-cylinder booster designed to provide adequate oil supply for governors with small and medium work outputs, such as UG-8/-40, EGB-10/-13, 3161, and PG governors. It features a 1:1 air-to-oil pressure ratio, making it suitable for applications requiring precise control under both high and low air pressure conditions.
Features
- Suitable for small and medium output governors
- 1:1 air-to-oil pressure ratio
- Ideal for precise control in various air pressure environments
- Compatible with multiple governor models
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 8901-037
Pressure Ratio (Oil Out to Air In): 1:1
Application: Single-cylinder
Governor Compatibility: UG-8/-40, EGB-10/-13, 3161, PG governors with outputs of 16 and 23 J (12 and 17 ft-lbs)
Oil Line Connections:
- 10 mm (3/8 inch) steel tubing from governor sump to oil inlet on booster
- 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #1 on booster to power piston of governor
- 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #2 on booster to speed setting servo (for PGA, PGPL, or PGG governors with shutdown feature) Air Line Connection:
- Line containing an air-starting valve from starting-air supply to appropriate air inlet on booster Stroke Adjustment: Stroke limit screw for adjusting the volume of oil supplied per booster servomotor stroke
Installation and Adjustment
- Install 10 mm (3/8 inch) steel tubing from the governor sump to the oil inlet on the booster.
- Connect 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #1 on the booster to the power piston of the governor.
- For governors equipped with a shutdown feature, connect 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #2 on the booster to the speed setting servo; otherwise, plug outlet #2.
- Connect an air line with an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the appropriate air inlet on the booster. Plug the other air inlet if not used.
- Fill the governor with oil to the proper level.
- Purge air from the booster and oil lines by cycling air to the booster without cranking the engine, adding oil as needed.
- Adjust the initial opening of the fuel racks by turning the stroke limit screw counterclockwise to increase starting fuel or clockwise to decrease it.
