Booster Servomotor
Description
A booster servomotor supplies pressurized oil to mechanical-hydraulic governors and electro-hydraulic actuators at the instant starting air reaches the engine. This instant oil pressure eliminates the time required for the rotary gear pump in the governor to build up enough oil pressure to move the linkage. This produces a faster start, which conserves starting air, and in vessels with direct reversible engines, improves maneuverability. When the booster is inactive, a piston is held at one end of a cylinder by a spring. The cylinder is full of oil supplied from a line from the governor's sump. Compressed air applied to the side of the piston opposite this oil forces the piston against the oil, which flows through ports at the other end of the cylinder to the governor. When air is removed from the piston, the spring returns the piston to its rest position. Reduced pressure in the cylinder causes oil to flow into it from the sump. Check valves at all oil ports allow oil to flow in only one direction. This prevents oil in the booster from flowing back to the governor's sump when the booster operates, and prevents oil in the booster outlet lines from flowing back into the booster when it is inactive.
Types of Boosters
Boosters are available with different air-to-oil pressure ratios, making them suitable for both high and low air pressure applications:
Model 8901-037, -043 8901-051 8901-065 8901-067 8901-091 8901-103 Type single-cylinder single-cylinder tandem tandem two-stage two-stage Pressure Ratio (Oil Out to Air In) 1:1 2:1 1:1 2:1 2:1 3:1
Single-cylinder boosters supply enough oil for governors with small and medium work outputs, such as UG-8/-40, EGB-10/-13, 3161, and PG governors with outputs of 16 and 23 J (12 and 17 ft-lbs).
Woodward

Manual 36684
Tandem boosters, with larger volumes of oil and three oil outlets, are appropriate for PG-29/-58, EG-29/-58, and PG-TM 58 governors (39/79 J; 29/58 ft-lb). Two-stage, high-volume boosters meet the boost oil requirements for PG, EGB, and PG-TM governors with 271, 407, and 678 J (200, 300, and 500 ft-lb) power cases.
Single-Cylinder Booster (Figures 1-1 and 1-3) Single-cylinder boosters have two oil outlets: one is unrestricted, and one has a built-in orifice-type restriction. Outlet #1 (unrestricted) is connected directly to the governor's oil pressure system. Outlet #2 (restricted) can be used to pressurize the speed setting servo, which compresses the speeder spring of PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors equipped with any shutdown feature. A single-cylinder booster has two air inlets, one restricted and one unrestricted. Using the restricted air inlet results in slower movement of the fuel rack.
Tandem Booster (Figures 1-2 and 1-4) Tandem boosters have two cylinders and three oil outlets. Outlet #1 is unrestricted. The other two outlets are restricted by an adjustable needle valve. Oil outlet #1 is connected to the governor's accumulator. Outlet #2 is connected to the speed setting servo (of PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors equipped with any shutdown feature). Outlet #3 is connected to a point directly under the power piston. If outlet #2 is used, its needle valve determines the rate at which the speeder spring is compressed. The needle valve in outlet #3 controls the rate at which the power piston moves.
Two-Stage Booster (Figures 1-5, 2-4, and 3-3) Two-stage boosters have three oil outlets, but a two-stage feature allows oil to flow through outlet #2 before it flows through the other two outlets. In most applications, outlet #1 supplies oil to the power piston in the governor. Outlet #2 supplies oil to the speed setting servo (of PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors equipped with any shutdown feature). Outlet #3 supplies oil to the relay piston.

If the governor is a PGA, PGPL, or PGG equipped with any shutdown feature, install 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #2 on the booster to the speed setting servo (the inlet marked OUTLET #2) of the governor. Otherwise, plug outlet #2 (this plug is delivered with the booster). Connect a line containing an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the appropriate air inlet on the booster. Use the inlet with the built-in orifice if you want to move the fuel racks at a slower rate. The other air inlet needs to be plugged. Fill the governor with oil to the proper level (refer to the installation manual for the governor). When all air and oil connections are secure, purge air from the booster and oil lines by cycling air to the booster from a remote source without cranking the engine. Add oil to the governor as needed. When there is no more air in the booster and oil lines, set the initial opening of the fuel racks by adjusting the stroke of the booster piston. Turn the stroke limit screw counterclockwise to increase starting fuel, and clockwise to decrease it. This screw limits the intake stroke of the booster and the volume of oil supplied to the governor in one stroke of the booster servomotor.

When all oil and air connections are secure, purge air from the booster and oil lines by cycling air to the booster from a remote source without cranking the engine. Add more oil to the governor as needed. When there is no more air in the booster and oil lines, limit the volume of oil going to the governor by adjusting the two stroke limit screws. The positions of these screws determine the maximum volume of oil supplied by the booster. This, in turn, determines the maximum travel of the fuel racks. Turn the screws clockwise to reduce the travel of the racks, and counterclockwise to increase the travel. Adjust the needle valves in oil outlets #2 and #3. If outlet #2 is used, its needle valve controls the rate of oil flow to the speeder spring servo, which determines how fast the speeder spring servo moves. The needle valve in outlet #3 controls the rate at which the power piston moves. Turn the needle valve clockwise to restrict oil flow, and counterclockwise to increase flow. Outlets #2 and #3 are connected to separate cylinders. Outlet #1 is connected to both cylinders, with check valves preventing flow between the cylinders. Unequal amounts of oil will flow through the two outlets if the stroke limit screws are adjusted unequally. It is usually best to adjust both of these screws the same distance, and regulate the rate of oil flow through outlets #2 and #3 with their respective needle valves.

When all air and oil connections are secure, purge air from the booster and oil lines by cycling air from a remote source to the booster without cranking the engine. Add oil to the governor as needed. When there is no more air in the booster and oil lines, regulate the volume of oil going to the governor by adjusting the stroke limit screw. If you are not using an EGB-200, -300, or -500 actuator, adjust the shuttle piston adjusting screw and the needle valve in oil outlet #3. Remember that: The stroke limit screw limits the volume of oil going to the governor through oil outlets #1 and #3. This controls the maximum amount of fuel output during a booster-assisted start. If you use outlet #2, the shuttle piston adjusting screw limits the volume of oil going to the speed setting servo through oil outlet #2. The needle valve limits the rate of flow of oil through oil outlet #3; this controls the rate at which the output shaft of the governor moves. The needle valve setting also limits the stroke of the power piston in the governor. Turn the stroke limit screw clockwise to reduce the volume of oil to the governor and fuel to the engine, and counterclockwise to increase volume. Turn the needle valve clockwise to reduce the rate and volume of oil flow, and counterclockwise to increase the rate and volume.

Second Phase of Operation Refer to Figure 3-2 (which represents a single cylinder booster; a tandem booster has two pistons and three oil outlets, but its principle of operation is the same). When starting air is removed, the booster is vented to atmosphere through the starting-air valve (customer supplied) in the booster's air line. Spring force returns the booster's piston(s) to the original position. Oil stops flowing out of the booster. Reduced pressure in the booster causes sump oil to flow back into the booster. The booster is ready to start again. Check valves in the oil outlets prevent oil from flowing back through the oil outlets into the booster. Figure 3-2. Single Booster, Phase 2

When compressed air enters the booster, the main piston moves to the right, forcing oil to the shuttle piston cavity and moving the shuttle piston up. The shuttle piston forces oil through oil outlet #2 and blocks oil outlets #1 and #3. The shuttle piston adjusting screw limits the stroke of the shuttle piston, which limits the amount of oil supplied through oil outlet #2.
Second Phase of Operation When the shuttle piston reaches the end of its stroke, it uncovers the passages to outlets #1 and #3, and oil flow through outlet #2 ceases. Oil remaining in the booster flows through outlets #1 and #3 to the relay and power pistons in the governor, moving them to increase fuel.
The needle valve in outlet #3 limits the amount of oil that goes through this outlet and its rate of flow. This, in turn, limits the stroke of the power piston in the governor and the rate at which fuel is supplied to the engine. The stroke limit screw limits the stroke of the main booster piston, which limits the total amount of oil supplied to the governor by the booster. Check valves prevent oil from flowing from the booster into the governor's sump.

The air side of the main piston is vented to atmosphere through the starting-air valve. Spring forces return the main booster piston and shuttle piston to their original positions. Reduced pressure in the booster causes sump oil to flow back into the booster. Check valves prevent oil from flowing into the booster from the oil outlet lines.
