About the 8237-1595

Product 8237-1595 is an over-speed detection device that is part of the Protech-GII series through Woodward. It’s equipped with MPU detection in addition to acceleration detection and can work on turbines of any size. It will safely shut down steam, gas, and hydro turbines if they begin to speed up too quickly. This bulkhead mount also comes with a sulfur-resistant coating. This has been shown to be effective in the long run against H2S and S02 gases. This device is functional in class 3C2 environments, and it uses 2 out of 3 voted architectures.

More specifications about model 8237-1595 include;

• Online repair options.
• Routine acceleration tests.
• Speed readouts of 4 to 20 mA.

The routine tests are done by simulating an over acceleration event in each of the product's three modules. This is done with an internal generator and frequency. The three different modules allow users to maintain one with the system is still online and running. The backplane structure makes replacing one of the modules easy, and straightforward. Model 8237-1595 has been discontinued by Woodward but can still be found in other places. AX Control can repair, buy, and sell these acceleration safety devices. They can be configured to work with any size turbine, as long as it is hydro, steam, or gas-powered.
