    The document discusses an operation manual for a speed droop mechanism on a governor. It emphasizes safety precautions and warnings when installing, operating or servicing equipment. It also describes how speed droop is used to balance load between engines running in parallel.

    The document mentions to equip engines with overspeed shutdown devices to protect against runaway, and also possibly overtemperature or overpressure shutdown devices. It provides cautions for static sensitive electronic parts when servicing controls.

    It explains that speed droop is defined as the decrease in governor speed as its output moves from minimum to maximum fuel positions. It describes how the speed droop lever and cam interact with the speeder plunger to lower the compression on the speeder spring and reduce engine speed as load increases.

    Speed Droop Mechanism


    for PG Dial Governor

    Manual 36622A
    WARNING
    Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be
    performed before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all
    plant and safety instructions and precautions. Failure to follow instructions can
    cause personal injury and/or property damage.

    The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an
    overspeed shutdown device to protect against runaway or damage to the prime
    mover with possible personal injury, loss of life, or property damage.

    The overspeed shutdown device must be totally independent of the prime mover
    control system. An overtemperature or overpressure shutdown device may also be
    needed for safety, as appropriate.

    CAUTION
    To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging
    device, make sure the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the
    battery from the system.

    Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following


    precautions to prevent damage to these parts.
    • Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control
    turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the
    control).
    • Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around
    printed circuit boards.
    • Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board with
    your hands or with conductive devices.

    IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
    WARNING—indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
    result in death or serious injury.

    CAUTION—indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could


    result in damage to equipment.

    NOTE—provides other helpful information that does not fall under the warning or
    caution categories.

    Speed Droop Mechanism


    for PG Dial Governor

    General
    Speed droop is used to balance and divide load between engines (or turbines)
    running in parallel. Speed droop is defined as the decrease in governor speed as
    its output connection to the engine fuel racks (or valve) moves from minimum to
    maximum fuel positions. Speed regulation of an engine is defined as the
    decrease in engine speed as its load is increased from no load to full load
    (invariably accomplished by using less than the full governor stroke available),
    and is expressed in rpm or as a percentage of normal speed. Since the normal
    speed of the governor is determined by the compression of the speeder spring,
    any change in compression of the speeder spring will change the normal speed
    of the governor.

    Operation
    The method of incorporating speed droop in a typical Woodward type PG
    governor is shown in Figure 1. In those governors in which the rod end is below
    the governor power cylinder, a tailrod, connected to the governor power piston, is
    attached to the speed droop lever instead of the rod end shown.

    Figure 1, Speed Droop Mechanism Installed on a Typical PG Governor

    For any given speed adjustment setting, the speeder plug is stationary. The
    position of the speeder plunger within the speeder plug is determined by the
    position of the cam on the speed droop lever.

    Speed Droop Mechanism for PG Dial Governor Manual 36622
    The rod end (or tailrod) moves up and down with the governor power piston as it
    changes the fuel setting. The rod end movement raises or lowers the speed
    droop lever which, pivoting about the speed droop lever shaft, raises or lowers
    the cam on the speed droop lever. The speed droop lever shaft is positioned so
    that the speeder plunger is moved upward as the rod end moves in the direction
    to increase fuel. The shaft is between the cam and rod end on governors in
    which the rod end moves up (as shown in Figure 1) to decrease fuel. On
    governors arranged so that the rod end moves up to increase fuel, the cam is
    between the lever shaft and rod end.

    The upward movement of the speeder plunger as the governor moves to


    increase fuel for increased loads thus decreases the compression on the
    speeder spring, and the governor—and engine—runs at a slower speed.
    Conversely, when the governor power piston moves to decrease fuel as load
    decreases, the speeder plunger increases the speeder spring compression, and
    the governor and engine run at a faster speed.

    Adjustment
    Adjustment of the speed droop setting is. accomplished by loosening the clamp
    screw and changing the position of the speed droop lever cam with respect to the
    speed droop lever shaft. Moving the cam away from the lever shaft increases the
    droop; moving the cam towards the lever shaft decreases the droop. If the center
    of the cam coincides with the center of the lever shaft, “zero droop” results and
    the governor will give isochronous (constant speed) operation. When decreasing
    the droop setting, take care not to move the cam beyond the zero droop point
    since “negative droop” (speed increasing with load increases) leads to an
    inherently unstable system.

    Information and Parts Replacement


    When requesting additional information concerning droop or governor operation,
    or when ordering repair parts, it is essential that the following information
    accompany the request:
    • Governor serial number (shown on nameplate). The serial number is
    needed since the reference numbers given in this bulletin do not identify the
    exact part number required for any one governor.
    • Manual number (this is manual 36622)
    • Part reference number, name of part, or description of part
