Chapter 1.
TG Governor & Actuator Installation

General
During the installation of the TG-13/-17 Governor, or the TG-13E/-17E Actuator,
do not drop or set the TG on the drive shaft, terminal shafts, speed setting shaft
or adjusting screw as the case may be. Abuse can damage seals, internal parts,
and factory adjustments.

NOTE
For horizontal operation, the TG governor or actuator must be installed with
the oil sight gauge at the top of the governor, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Proper installation is necessary for satisfactory performance. Before beginning

the installation, of the TG, read the following instructions:

1. Be sure the drive-shaft rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) and the TG

speed setting are correct for your installation.

NOTE
Correct direction of the TG drive-shaft-rotation, and the maximum governor
speed setting is stamped on the data plate.

WARNING—MAXIMUM HIGH SPEEDS

Due to the requirements of the turbine, it may be necessary to lower these
maximum high speeds for safe operation.

2. TG drive-shaft rotation is single direction only. When looking at the TG from

the top, the direction of rotation must be the same as the turbine-shaft
rotation when looking at the mounting pad.

If the TG oil pump rotates in the wrong direction, there will be no oil
pressure. Without oil pressure, pump parts will heat up, and seizure of
rotating parts will result.

3. Be sure the TG drive-shaft is accurately aligned and concentric with the

turbine shaft. All fits must be close but free. The drive coupling used must
allow for thermal expansion without end loading the drive shaft. The
coupling must also provide that no side loads be applied to the governor
drive shaft.

CAUTION—DO NOT FORCE

Do not pound the drive coupling on to the TG drive shaft, or force the TG
into position. The drive shaft diameter is 0.4990 to 0.4995 inch (12.675 to
12.687 mm).

4. Use a gasket between the TG and the mounting pad. Using a drive coupling
of the correct length, and a No. 5 woodruff key, install the TG on the
mounting pad. Tighten the four mounting bolts equally.

Woodward 1
TG Governor & Actuator Installation Manual 54045

Actuators Only
Unless otherwise specified, TG-13E/17E actuators are calibrated for horizontal
operation. When used in a vertical application, these actuators will have an
approximately five-to six-degree shift in terminal shaft calibration. Changing the
actuator from horizontal to vertical installation, or vice-versa, requires a
recalibration of the TG actuator. See Manual 04045, Chapter 4, Calibration
Procedure.

Breather cap location also must be changed according to actuator mounting

position.

NOTE
Refer to the turbine manufacturers specifications for torque limits when
tightening the four TG mounting bolts.

Linkage Attachments
TG Governor and Actuator Terminal Shaft
The TG terminal shaft extends from both sides of the case and provides 40
degrees of full TG travel. Recommended travel between no load and full load is
2/3 of full TG travel.

WARNING—MINIMUM/MAXIMUM STEAM POSITION

Be sure to allow sufficient overtravel at each end of the terminal shaft so the
TG can shut down the prime mover and also give maximum steam flow
when required.

See Figure 1-1 for a graphic representation of maximum work capacity for the
TG and related terminal shaft travel information.

Figure 1-1. Governor Work Output

2 Woodward
Manual 54045 TG Governor & Actuator Installation
Linkage should be free of any friction or binding. All lost motion should be
eliminated. Terminal shaft connections should be a 0.625 to 0.636 serration
clamped to the output shaft. Refer to Figure 1-2, for typical linkage arrangement.

Figure 1-2. Typical Linkage Arrangement for the TG Governor or Actuator

Governor Only
If the TG Governor is equipped with optional lever speed setting, linkage to the
speed-setting shaft on either side must be installed. Lever speed setting requires
30 degrees travel for full governor speed range. An internal return spring with a
maximum torque of 22 lb-in (2.5 Nxm) is acting on the speed-setting shaft.

Speed-setting linkage must move smoothly, without binding or looseness.

Governor and Actuator Heat Exchanger (Optional)

If it is necessary to install a heat exchanger, mount it below the governor oil level
in order to prevent overflow of oil through the governor breather/filler cap. Flush
the heat exchanger before installation with the same grade and type of oil
selected for the TG governor or actuator (see Governor and Actuator Oil Supply)
to remove possible oxidation.

TG Governor Piping Connections

Make the required piping connections to the cooler and the governor. See
Figures 1-3 and 1-4 which illustrate tap locations and piping connections. Notice
in Figure 1-3, Heat-Exchanger Tap Locations, that there are two tap locations for
oil from the cooler outlet. The tap location used depends on the governor
mounting position.

Woodward 3
TG Governor & Actuator Installation Manual 54045
The pipe must be sized to minimize pipe-pressure losses which must not exceed
15 psi (103 kPa). Oil flow from the oil to cooler inlet tap (0.125 -27 NPTF) on a
TG-13 governor, operating at 6000 rpm and using a 0.188 thick gerotor pump
(0.188 is standard thickness on high-speed) is 1 US gal/min (3.8 L/min) at 150
psi (1034 kPa). For the TG-17 governor, it is 1.2 US gal/min (4.5 L/min) at 200
psi (1379 kPa).

Install a governor oil drain in the oil-from-cooler outlet pipe at the lowest point in
the system. See Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-3. Heat-Exchanger Tap Locations for TG Governor

Figure 1-4. Heat-Exchanger Piping Schematic for TG Governor

It is recommended that a throttling device be installed, so that coolant flow to the

heat exchanger can be regulated for optimum operating temperature of the oil.
Excessive cooling of governor oil can cause marginal operation.

4 Woodward
Manual 54045 TG Governor & Actuator Installation

TG Actuator Piping Connections

Make the required piping connections to the cooler and the actuator. The cooler
must be installed in the line to the cover filter (see Figure 1-5).

Figure 1-5. Heat Exchanger Piping Connections for TG Actuator

Use a pipe size that minimizes pipe pressure losses to less than 15 psi (103
kPa). Oil flow for the oil to cooler inlet tap (0.125-27 NPTF) is 1 US gal/min (3.8
L/min) at 150 psi (1034 kPa) on an actuator operating at 6000 rpm and using a
0.250 thick gerotor pump (0.250 is standard thickness on high speed actuators).
For the TG-17E, it is 1.2 US gal/min (4.5 L/min) at 200 psi (1379 kPa).

It is recommended that a throttling device be installed, so that coolant flow to the

heat exchanger can be regulated for optimum operating temperature of the oil.
Excessive cooling of actuator oil can cause sluggish operation.

Governor and Actuator Oil Supply

Remove the breather/filler cap on the TG. Fill the governor or actuator with 1.75
US quarts (1.7 L) of oil to a level visible on the oil gauge. Additional oil is required
if the governor uses an oil heat exchanger. Be sure the oil level is visible in the
oil sight gauge before starting the turbine. After the turbine is started and the TG
is at operating temperature, add oil if necessary.

Use Table 1-1 as a guide in the selection of a suitable lubricating/hydraulic oil.

Oil grade selection is based on the operating-temperature range of the TG.

TG oil viscosity at operating temperature must stay within the 50 to 3000 SUS
(Saybolt Universal Seconds) range. Ideal oil viscosity at operating temperature is
between 100 to 300 SUS.

WARNING—OVERSPEED
A loss of stable TG control and possible turbine overspeed may result if the
oil viscosity is not within the 50 to 3000 SUS range.

Woodward 5
TG Governor & Actuator Installation Manual 54045

Table 1-1. Oil Chart

The recommended continuous operating temperature of the oil for the TG is 140
to 200 °F (60 to 93 °C). The ambient temperature limits are –20 to +200 °F (–29
to +93 °C).

Measure the temperature of the TG on the outside lower part of the case. The
actual oil temperature will be slightly warmer by approximately 10 °F (6 °C).

TG oil must be compatible with seal materials such as nitrile, polyacrylic, and
fluorocarbon.

TG Actuator Only
For TG actuators which do not require a drive, but require a customer-supplied
oil pressure source, see Figure 1-6 for oil line connections. External oil pressure
source must supply 1 to 4 US gal/min (4 to 15 L/min) flow to regulate
accumulator between 150 and 170 psi (1034 to 1172 kPa). Supply oil must be
filtered to 25 µm (absolute). The TG actuator is fitted with a –6 filter fitting (70 µm
absolute) and a –10 drain fitting.

Governor and Actuator Initial Operation

Before initial operation of the TG-equipped turbine, be sure that all previous
installation steps are successfully accomplished.

WARNING—START-UP
Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the engine,
turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against runaway or
overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or property damage.

Normally, the only requirements for putting a new TG into service are to fill the
governor or actuator with oil and adjust the rated speed setting.

TG Governor Only
TG Governor speed setting is factory set to give governor rated speed at initial
start-up. This setting may be different than the rated turbine speed. It is
recommended that the speed setting be decreased before start-up by turning the
manual speed-setting screw, or by turning the high speed stop screw clockwise
on lever speed setting models, to give LOW SPEED at initial start-up.

Start the turbine, following the turbine manufacturer’s instructions.

Open the steam valve slowly. Check the turbine speed, and adjust as necessary
to bring the turbine to rated speed. Make sure the terminal-shaft linkage to the
valve is correctly adjusted to allow maximum and minimum steam-flow
requirement.

Check the TG Governor for stable operation by manually disturbing the terminal
shaft linkage or speed setting. Stability is satisfactory when the turbine returns to
speed with only a slight overshoot or undershoot.

Woodward 7
TG Governor & Actuator Installation Manual 54045
TG Governor instability indicates the need for adjustment of speed droop on the
TG Governor (see Droop Adjustment) below.

Speed Droop
Speed droop, or droop is a method for creating stability in a governor. It is the
decrease in speed taking place when the governor terminal shaft moves from the
minimum-fuel to the maximum-fuel position in response to a load increase,
expressed as a percentage of rated speed.

Droop Adjustment
Adjustment of droop may be required during TG governor operation if the
governor shows instability or difficulty in responding to a load change. Instability,
in the form of hunting or surging, indicates insufficient droop and the droop-
adjusting lever should be positioned to increase droop. If the TG governor shows
difficulty in accepting load, or becomes unstable after a load change, excessive
droop is indicated.

NOTE
Droop is required for stability in the TG governor. Never try to obtain “zero”
droop.

In cases where the droop setting of the governor must be changed on the
engine, use the following droop-adjusting procedure:

1. Shut down the turbine. If the governor is mounted in the horizontal position,
drain the oil. Remove the cover assembly to gain access to the droop-
adjusting lever (see Figure 1-7). While removing the cover, do not damage
the cover gasket. If the governor is horizontally mounted, be careful not to
let any part drop out of the governor as the cover also secures some
internal parts.

2. Loosen the socket-head screw which fastens the droop-adjusting lever.

Slide the lever (approximately 1/32 inch [0.8 mm] at a time) in the directions
desired to adjust droop, see Figure 1-7.

Moving the droop-adjusting lever away or towards the terminal shaft center
line increases or decreases droop, respectively.

CAUTION—DROOP
Do not move the droop-adjusting lever in the decrease-droop direction too
far toward the point of zero droop (the center line of the terminal shaft). This
will result in unstable governor operation.

CAUTION—COVER MUST BE INSTALLED

DO NOT operate the governor without the cover assembly securely in place.

3. Tighten the screw, install the cover, and fill the governor with oil to a level
visible on the oil sight gauge.

Manual 54045 TG Governor & Actuator Installation

Figure 1-7. Movement of Droop-Adjusting Lever

4. Observe governor operating behavior again and repeat adjustments to the

droop-adjusting lever until governor operation is satisfactory. If repeated
attempts at adjustment fail to provide governor stability, other problems are
indicated (see Troubleshooting below).

TG Actuator Only
If the installation is using a TG actuator, all adjustments are accomplished during
factory testing according to the turbine-manufacturer specifications and should
not require further adjustments.

Select a LOW SPEED setting on the electronic control, to give low speed at initial
start-up.

Start the turbine, following the turbine manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust the
selected speed setting on the electronic control as necessary to bring the turbine
to rated speed.

Check the actuator for stable operation by manually disturbing the terminal shaft
linkage or speed setting. Stability is satisfactory when the turbine returns to
speed with only a slight overshoot or undershoot.

All operating adjustments are made to the actuator during factory calibration. The
TG actuator is calibrated to specifications provided by the customer, and does
not require further adjustment.

Troubleshooting the TG Governor and Actuator

Turbine Hunts or Surges: (A hunt is a rhythmic variation of speed.)

a. Add oil if TG oil level is low.

b. Align linkage if it is binding.

c. Be sure TG governor droop setting is sufficient for your installation.

Woodward 9
TG Governor & Actuator Installation Manual 54045
Governor Terminal Shaft Jiggles: (“Jiggle” is a high-frequency vibration of the
governor output shaft.)

Be sure TG governor drive coupling is aligned correctly with engine drive.

Governor or Actuator Control is Unstable:

a. Insufficient use of terminal shaft travel. Recommended travel from no load to

full load is 2/3 of full governor or actuator travel available.

b. If there is too much droop, position the droop-adjusting lever for decreased
droop.

c. Be sure the steam valve is not too large for the governor or actuator.

NOTE
TG Governor droop and its stabilizing effect are a function of governor
terminal shaft travel. If the linkage is arranged so that only a small
percentage of travel is used from no load to full load, droop and its
stabilizing effect is reduced proportionately.

d. If there is dirt in the oil, or the oil is dirty, drain, flush, and refill the governor
or actuator. Clean actuator cover filter.

Turbine Does Not Pick Up Rated Full Load:

a. If the governor speed setting is too low, increase governor speed setting.

b. Governor or actuator oil too hot. Oil viscosity is too low. Use higher viscosity
oil and/or an oil cooler.

c. Be sure the governor or actuator terminal shaft linkage uses the full 2/3
travel from no load to full load.

d. Make sure the governor or actuator speed range is correct for the turbine.

e. If governor droop setting is too high, position the droop-adjusting lever to

decrease droop.

Governor or Actuator does not Start or Control:

a. Verify that the governor or actuator drive shaft is engaged. Make sure that
the No. 5 Woodruff key is properly installed.

b. Reverse pump parts for opposite direction of rotation, if necessary.

c. Be sure the turbine drive to the TG governor or actuator is engaged.

d. Make sure the electronic control voltage output to the actuator is correct.
Verify that the polarity is correct.

The Governor Starts, But Remains at Maximum Fuel Setting:

Speed setting is too high. Reduce speed setting until the governor controls,
then adjust for desired speed.
