Woodward Electronic Controls
Electronic Controls for Steam Turbines
505DE Multipurpose Steam Turbine Control
Single Valve, Single Extraction / Admission or Dual Extraction / Admission Steam Turbines
Woodward’s 505DE configurable control operates industrial steam turbines of all sizes in both generator and compressor applications.
This 505DE allows configuration for use on:
- single inlet turbines
- single extraction turbines
- double extraction turbines
This makes it ideal for plants wanting to standardize on one product for all their steam turbines.
The 505DE control's unique PID structure makes it ideal for applications where it is required to control several steam plant parameters at once, like turbine speed, load, and inlet, extraction, or exhaust header pressures.
Available in simplex or dual-redundant models.
