Woodward

Woodward, Inc. is a major American manufacturer of control systems and control-system components for aerospace and industrial energy applications. Founded in 1870 in Rockford, Illinois by Amos Woodward and now headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, the company has grown from early waterwheel speed governors into a global supplier operating roughly 42 plants and offices across 13 countries. Its industrial product lines include fuel metering valves and actuators, engine governors, turbine controls, pumps, and electronics for reciprocating gas engines, gas turbines, and power-generation equipment. The TecJet series of integrated valve-and-actuator fuel metering systems, including the TecJet 50 Plus, regulates gaseous fuel flow to gas-fired reciprocating engines using SAE J1939 CAN bus, PWM, or 4-20 mA control signals, supporting natural gas, landfill gas, and biogas applications in cogeneration and power plants. Seven Star LLC supplies genuine Woodward fuel control and engine governing equipment to industrial and power-generation customers across Oman and the GCC, supporting reliable, emissions-compliant engine and turbine operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Woodward TecJet 50 Plus regulate fuel flow to gas-fired reciprocating engines?

The TecJet 50 Plus is an integrated valve-and-actuator assembly that receives a fuel rate demand signal from the engine control system and continuously adjusts its torque-motor-driven valve position, using feedback from fuel pressure, temperature, and differential-pressure sensors to hold flow within roughly ±6% accuracy above 25% of rated capacity.

Can Woodward TecJet valves be integrated into an engine's existing electronic control system via CAN bus?

Yes. The TecJet 50 Plus communicates over SAE J1939 CAN bus at rates from 250K to 1M baud, and also accepts PWM (80-1100 Hz) or 4-20 mA analog demand signals, allowing it to integrate directly with most electronic engine governing systems without additional interface hardware.

Are Woodward fuel metering valves suitable for landfill gas, biogas, or other non-pipeline-quality fuels?

Yes, the TecJet family is designed to meter a range of gaseous fuels beyond pipeline natural gas, including landfill gas and biogas, making it suitable for cogeneration and waste-to-energy plants running on variable-quality gas streams.

What industrial applications typically use Woodward TecJet fuel control valves?

Woodward TecJet valves are used on gas-fueled reciprocating engines in combined heat and power (cogeneration) plants, standby and continuous power generation, and industrial gas compression applications where precise, fast-responding fuel metering is required.

Does the TecJet 50 Plus support SAE J1939 and other industrial communication protocols?

Yes, the TecJet 50 Plus supports SAE J1939 CAN bus communication along with PWM and 4-20 mA analog inputs and an RS-232 service port for configuration and diagnostics, covering the common protocols used in industrial engine control systems.
