Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

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
Electrostatic the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain
Precautions 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.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
 Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
 Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
 When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.

General Information
Introduction
The TecJet™ valve/actuator is an integrated, digitally compensated control valve
and actuator system for regulating and metering the flow of gaseous fuels. The
device is designed to accept a fuel rate demand signal. It also incorporates
feedback sensors that monitor fuel pressure, temperature, and valve pressure
differential. Based on these sensor signals, the device modulates the valve
opening to produce a physical fuel mass flow that matches the flow demand level
within the accuracy specified elsewhere in this manual.
This manual covers the TecJet 50 Plus (TJ50P) and the TecJet 50 Plus Precision
Flow (TJ50PPF) Fuel Metering Valves.
The TecJet valve/actuator is intended to be mounted on or very close to the

engine. The dominant application of this valve is gas fueled reciprocating engines
controlled by an electronic engine control system.
Throughout the remainder of the manual, the TecJet valve and

actuator system will be referred to simply as the TecJet.
Connections to the TecJet

The TecJet valve has the following connections to the ECM (Engine Control
Module), and the engine harness:
Earth Ground Provided through ground lug on housing.

Power Input 18–32 Vdc measured at the TecJet.
Key Switch input Contact input to switch the TecJet in and out of a
low-power state.
CANbus In Configurable as mass flow demand input.
PWM Configurable as mass flow demand input.
4–20 mA Analog Configurable as mass flow demand input.
CAN ID Inputs TecJet number selection for CANbus IDs.
CAN Termination Internal CAN termination resistor option.
CANbus Out Second set of CAN pins for connecting to the next
CAN device.
Status Output High side switch that changes state during a fault
condition.
The TecJet has available RS-232 connections in the main connector for program
upgrades and service tool interfacing by qualified service personnel.

Installation
Introduction
The TecJet valve is pressure tested at Woodward. Allowable external

leakage is less than 2 sccm or 0.00015 kg/h.
The TecJet valve is NOT equipped with an overboard drain in the

event of gas leakage through its various seals. The valve should
therefore be used in a well ventilated area. A methane detector
should be used if the valve will be used in an enclosed installation.
The TecJet™ weighs 24 kg (52 lb). In order to prevent injury, some

form of lifting assistance (a lifting strap is recommended) should be
used when handling the TecJet.
Be careful when unpacking the TecJet. Check the assembly for signs of damage,
such as bent or dented covers, scratches, and loose or broken parts. Be
especially careful not to rest the TecJet on the valve position pointer or the
actuator electrical connectors. Notify the shipper and Woodward if damage is
found.
If the TecJet is to be painted, appropriate means must be used to mask the

following items/areas:
 All identification and warning labels
 Main electrical connector
 Junction between the valve shaft and the valve housing (this is a dynamic
junction next to the valve position pointer)
Mounting
TecJet orientation and mounting must be designed to reduce the possibility of
fuel contamination. Orientation of the valve should be with the actuator ±15°
relative to horizontal with the sensor module skyward. The axis of the valve bore
can be +90/–15° relative to horizontal, with +90° representing the outlet of the
valve pointing skyward. Installations with a bore axis orientation in the +15 to
+90° range must incorporate means to prevent the buildup of moisture or other
liquids in the fuel train. The valve has an arrow indicating flow direction cast into
the outside of the valve housing. Washers should be placed between the valve
body and any fasteners used. Give consideration to the strength of the mounting
plate in order to support the 24 kg (52 lb) weight of the TecJet. Refer to the
outline drawing in Figure 2-2 for dimensions and details relative to the valve inlet
flange and outlet flange.
For on-engine applications, a suitable bracket must be constructed to brace the

actuator to a secure structure on the engine. See the outline drawing (Figure 2-1)
for the actuator mounting hole and hole-location details. This actuator mounting
configuration should ensure that moment loads are not applied to the actuator,
either through installation or thermal stress that could cause the valve to bind and
lose functionality.
8 Woodward
Released

The inlet and outlet piping of the TecJet must be in accordance with ANSI/ISA-
S75.02 to ensure the flow metering accuracy specified elsewhere in this manual.
However, an inlet piping length as short as 6 diameters and an outlet piping
length as short as 2 diameters can typically be used with a negligible loss in
valve metering accuracy.
Leak check all gaseous fuel connections. Leaking gaseous fuel can
cause explosion hazards, property damage, or loss of life.
Electrical Connections
The TecJet is electrically connected to the control system (ECM) by the main
connector (Figure 2-2). The engine harness mating connector for the TecJet is
MS3106E24-28S. This mating connector should be torqued per the value
indicated in Figure 2-1.
EXPLOSION HAZARD—Do not remove covers or connect/disconnect

electrical connectors unless power has been switched off or the area
is known to be non-hazardous.
RISQUE D’EXPLOSION—Ne pas enlever les couvercles, ni

raccorder / débrancher les prises électriques, sans vous en
assurez auparavant que le système a bien été mis hors
tension; ou que vous vous situez bien dans une zone non
explosive.
Due to the hazardous location listing associated with this product,

proper wire type and wiring practices are critical to operation.
Do not connect any cable grounds to “instrument ground”, “control

ground”, or any non-earth ground system. Make all required
electrical connections based on the wiring diagram in Figure 2-2.

Shielded Wiring
All shielded cable must be twisted conductor pairs. Do not attempt to tin (solder)
the braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray
signals from adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the correct pins on the
driver connector or wiring as specified in the wiring diagram. Do not connect
shields to the actuator ground. Wire exposed beyond the shield should be as
short as possible, not exceeding 50 mm (2 inches). The other end of the shields
must be left open and insulated from any other conductor. DO NOT run shielded
signal wires along with other wires carrying large currents. Where shielded cable
is required, cut the cable to the desired length and prepare the cable as
instructed below:
 Strip the outer insulation from BOTH ENDS, exposing the braided or spiral
wrapped shield. DO NOT CUT THE SHIELD.
 Using a sharp, pointed tool, carefully spread the strands of the shield.
 Pull the inner conductor(s) out of the shield. If the shield is the braided type,
twist it to prevent fraying.
 Remove 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation from the inner conductors. The shield
must be considered as a separate circuit when wiring the system. The shield
must be carried through connectors without interruption.
Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require

additional shielding precautions. Contact Woodward for more information.
Failure to provide shielding can produce future conditions which are difficult to
diagnose. Proper shielding at the time of installation is required to ensure
satisfactory operation of the TecJet Gas Metering System.
Earth Ground
Ground Lug = Earth Ground
In order to ensure CE compliance, the connection to the earth ground needs to

meet the following requirements. First, the connection must be less than 183 cm
(6 ft) in length. Second, the wire that is used must be at least 3.3 mm² (12 AWG)
in size.
Supply Voltage
W = Power-In (+)
Z = Power-In (–)
The supply voltage during normal operation must be 18 to 32 V, measured at the

TecJet connector. Steady state input current can reach 2.0 A, and transient input
current may reach up to 5.0 A. The recommended power supply cable size is at
least 1.3 mm² or 16 AWG. The power supply wiring must be fused outside of the
valve. The recommended fuse is a 6 A fast blow fuse.
Recommended maximum wire length from power source to TecJet based on an

18 V Power Supply: 16 AWG (1.3 mm²)—12 m (39 ft*)
*Rated transient torque may not be achievable with an 18 V power supply. Listed
lengths will provide at least 75% of rated transient torque.

Keyswitch
F = Keyswitch
The keyswitch is not active in all TecJet configurations. The keyswitch is used to
switch the TecJet in and out of a low power state (less than 200 mA input
current). A high signal (connected to supply [+]) will allow the valve to operate in
a normal mode, and a low signal (connected to supply [–] or open connection)
will force the valve to a minimum position (if possible) and then into a low power
state. When the key switch input goes low, the valve will disable the driver
circuitry after the software has gone through a shutdown procedure.
PWM Input

CAN Termination
P = Termination resistor
Q = Termination resistor
The internal termination resistor (120 Ω) is used to terminate the CANbus.

According to the CAN specification, every CANbus must be terminated at both
ends of the bus. If a TecJet valve is connected to the far end of the bus, this
termination resistor can be used. If termination is needed, connect a link between
pins P and Q. This link should be as short as possible. If no termination resistor
is needed, leave pins P and Q unconnected.
If the internal termination is used, other devices on the CANbus may

not operate properly when the TecJet valve is disconnected from the
bus. An external termination resistor should be used if there are
other devices on the CANbus that must not lose communication
when the TecJet valve is disconnected.
CAN In
R = CAN high in
S = CAN low in
V = CAN GND
Pins R, S, and V are the CAN communication wires. Make sure that the correct
cable is used for connection to the CAN terminals (SAE J1939/11).
Voltage Level: 5V
Isolation: 1000 Vrms (optically decoupled)
Type: The TecJet supports CAN 2.0B
Baud Rate: Configurable from 250 K to 1 Meg
CAN Out
T = CAN high out
U = CAN low out
V = CAN GND
The CAN output pins are internally connected to the CAN input pins. They are
provided for linking more than one TecJet to the CANbus without the need for
junction boxes or doubled terminations to connector pins. For example, the
CANbus from the control may be connected to the input pins, and the output pins
are connected to the second TecJet input pins.
If a second device is connected to the CAN output pins, this device

will lose communication if the TecJet valve is disconnected.

Description of Operation
External fire protection is not provided in the scope of this product. It

is the responsibility of the user to satisfy any applicable
requirements for their system.
Due to typical noise levels in engine environments, hearing

protection should be worn when working on or around the TecJet™
valve/actuator.
The surface of this product can become hot enough or cold enough
to be a hazard. Use protective gear for product handling in these
circumstances. Temperature ratings are included in the specification
section of this manual.
Configuration
The valve can be configured to accept a flow demand from the analog input, the
PWM input, or the CAN port. The configuration also includes user adjustable
warning limits, and default values for failed sensor backup modes. The
configuration can be viewed or changed using the TecJet Service Tool. See
Chapter 6 for information on installing the service tool.
Power-on Procedure
When power is applied to the valve, it performs a diagnostic check. If there are
no problems detected, the actuator is enabled with 0.56 Nm (0.41 lb-ft) of
torque, and the valve closes. If the flow demand source is configured for EGS
CAN or Jenbacher CAN, the valve reads the CAN ID input pins and begins
sending diagnostic information on the CAN link. If a problem is detected, the
valve will not operate and the status output will indicate a fault.
The TecJet is typically continuously connected to the supply voltage. If the flow
demand source is configured to Jenbacher CAN, the key switch has no effect. If
the flow demand source is configured for anything else, the key switch input must
be connected to a high signal (supply [+]) for the valve to operate. When the key
switch is off, the valve closes, if possible, and the actuator that positions the
valve is disabled to minimize the amount of current drawn from the battery.
Normal Operation
If a valid flow demand is present, the valve begins normal operation. The TecJet
calculates the area needed to provide the requested flow. This area is calculated
using the delta pressure (inlet to outlet pressure differential), the absolute inlet
fuel gas pressure, the fuel gas temperature, the fuel gas ratio of specific heats
(K), the fuel gas density, and the calibration information stored in the valve. The
actuator positions the valve to achieve the calculated area requirement.
Woodward 17
Released
Diagnostics
The TecJet may not return to minimum fuel for all faults. The engine,
turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an
overspeed, misfire, detonation detection shutdown device(s), that
operate totally independently of the prime mover control device(s) to
protect against runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other
type of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life
should the TecJet system fail. An independent fuel shutoff device
should also be used to shut off fuel flow in case the TecJet system
fails.
The valve continuously performs a variety of diagnostic checks. Diagnostic

events are classified as warnings, errors or status indications. The status output
indicates the overall status of the valve. For more detailed information and a
complete list of the diagnostics, see the User Guide in the TecJet Service Tool. A
brief summary follows:
Warnings:
A warning indicates a condition that may require an operator’s attention or
intervention. For example, the valve may be operating in conditions that are
outside its specification range, or a failure has occurred for which there is a back-
up mode of operation, possibly with reduced accuracy or performance. If any
warnings are active, the status output is “off”.
Errors:
An error indicates a problem that prevents the valve from operating. The valve
closes, if possible, and remains inoperable until power is cycled. If the error
persists, the valve requires service. If any errors are active, the status output is
“off”.
Status indications:
The valve provides the following status indications:
 Zero flow detected—The flow demand is not present or is not valid. The
valve is closed and the status output is “off”.
 Zero pressure detected—The pressure across the valve is essentially
zero, so no flow can occur. The valve is closed and the status output is “off”.
 Flow not reached—The valve cannot achieve the demanded flow given the
present operating conditions (fuel gas temperature and pressure, delta
pressure, gas K and density). The status output is “off”.
 Overall status OK—There are no errors or warnings, and the Flow not
detected, Zero flow detected, and Flow not reached status indications are
not true. The status output is “on”.
See Chapter 5 (Troubleshooting) for more information on non-normal operation.
Run Hours Counter

The valve maintains a running hours counter that can be viewed or reset with the
service tool. Running hours do not accumulate when the “Flow not detected”
status indication is true.

Position Limiter
After the TecJet is powered up and receives a flow command, the valve remains
in a closed position until the delta-p sensor senses a non-zero valve delta-p. This
non-zero delta-p is established when the fuel source is turned on. Once the non-
zero valve delta-p is sensed, the valve is positioned according to an interpolated
value from the position limiter table. This table contains three position vs flow
command points. By limiting the valve position as the fuel pressure is
established, the delta-p required for the TecJet to begin metering fuel is obtained
at a lower fuel flow rate. This function ensures that adequate delta-p will be
created, even with a substantially drooping fuel source, to allow the TecJet to
begin metering fuel.
Here is an example. During start-up, if the valve is operating under very low
differential pressure, and the valve indicates a "flow not reached" condition, but
the valve position is less than 1.2 radians, then the valve position is being limited
by the table values as indicated above. This situation can generally be resolved
by increasing the differential pressure across the valve by increasing the valve
pre-pressure.
After any pressure adjustments, ensure during normal operation that

pre-pressure and differential pressure are operating within the
ranges specified in the General Specifications section of this manual.
CANopen Communications
The TecJet 110, 50 Plus, and Precision Flow devices support CAN
communications in the CIA CANopen Protocol format complying with DS301
version 4.02. Further detailed information regarding CANopen can be obtained at
www.can-cia.org. Information about CAN is available at
www.semiconductors.bosch.de. Specific information regarding TecJet
behavior is detailed below.
All TecJet CANopen messages use the CAN 2.0 11-bit Standard Data Frame
Format.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is tunable for 125,250,500,1000kbps. The default is 250 kbps.
Node ID
The Node ID is tunable between 1 and 31. The default is 18.
Heartbeat Production Rate

The Heartbeat rate is tunable but defaulted to 1 second.
CANopen State
The TecJet starts in boot-up mode, sends the required Boot Message, and then
goes to the pre-operational state. If configured for PWM demand, it will operate
based on the PWM signal regardless of the CANopen State (the valve is fully
operational.) Once it receives the operational command on the CANbus, the
PDOs will be available on the CANbus.
If CAN demand is configured, it needs to receive a command to go to the

operational state followed by receiving a valid flow rate on the CANbus before
the valve can be operational.

TecJet PDO Support
All data in CANopen is formatted as “Little Endian” also known as

“Intel Format”.
This section lists the PDOs that will be sent from the TecJet.
The TecJet will use the standard connection set to assign PDO numbers. The
Node ID determines the COB ID for the PDOs.

Position Hold Feature
This feature should only be used by qualified engine operators. This

feature will hold the valve at the desired position regardless of the
fuel demand from the engine controller, which could result in
unexpected engine operation.
The TecJet 110, 50 Plus, and Precision Flow devices have a position hold
feature for use in analyzing or troubleshooting engine system operation. This
allows qualified operators to bypass the normal flow control function and specify
a fixed valve position. This mode is accessed in the Service Tool using the Tools
 Position Hold menu which can only be accessed with a password supplied by
Woodward.
The current valve position is displayed in the Position Hold dialog box. The valve
remains in flow control mode while the Enable Position Hold check-box is
unchecked. After the desired position is entered in the Position Hold Setting,
checking the Enable Position Hold check-box causes the valve to operate in
position hold mode where the valve position is controlled at the Position Hold
Setting value. Un-checking the Enable Position Hold check-box restores normal
flow control operation. Pressing OK closes the Position Hold window without
changing the position hold settings. Position Hold is automatically disabled after
10 minutes. It is also disabled if the service tool connection is lost for more than
10 seconds.
28 Woodward
Released

The Position Hold feature requires a valid flow command for position hold to
function. The command is not used for positioning, but in order to control the
position, the flow command must be valid. The position limiter function is also
active so it may not be possible to achieve the desired position without increasing
the flow demand. See the section “Position Limiter” earlier in this chapter. To
avoid confusion, it is recommended to first achieve the desired flow, note the
position, enter this position into the Position Hold setting, then activate the
Position Hold feature. This process will avoid interaction with the Position Limiter
unless the fuel pressure changes.

Environmental
Fuel Type
The TecJet 50 Plus operates on gases ranging from pipeline quality natural gas
to specialty gas (such as landfill, digester, or other biogases). The TecJet 50 Plus
Precision Flow operates on gases ranging from pipeline quality natural gas to
propane. Proper application of the valve for fuel flow, FGP, energy content, etc.,
is the responsibility of the OEM. The fuel gas flowing through the valve can
consist of the following compounds with limits if they apply:
Component Specification
Gaseous hydrocarbons
(methane, ethane, propane, etc.): No limit
Carbon monoxide: No limit
Carbon dioxide: No limit
Hydrogen: <10%
Oxygen: No limit
Nitrogen: No limit
Sulfur compounds including hydrogen sulfide:
TJ50P < 500 mg/10 kWh
(< 2000 mg/10 kWh)
TJ50PPF <40 mg/10 kWh
Chlorine and fluorine compounds
(typically chlorofluorocarbons): < 100 mg/10 kWh
(< 400 mg/10 kWh)
Silicon: < 5 mg/10 kWh
(< 20 mg/10 kWh)
Ammonia: < 50 mg/10 kWh
Oil or hydrocarbons in liquid
(mist form): < 5 mg/10 kWh
Fine particulates, including silicon
(less than 1.0 µm): < 3 mg/10 kWh
Overall the gas SG should be between 0.4 to 2.0 for the TJ50P and between 0.4
and 1.6 for the TJ50PPF. The energy content should be between 1 and 9.5
kWh/nm³. The values in ( ) are allowed, but may result in reduced valve life. The
above fuel limits can be converted to ppm by multiplying the given number by the
LHV of the fuel in question, then dividing by 36. The LHV must be in units of
MJ/kg.
Pressures
Inlet fuel gas pressure (FGP) should normally be between 876 and 1289 mbar
absolute. Keep in mind that for a given gauge FGP value, absolute FGP will
decrease with increasing altitude above sea level. The Inlet FGP sensor will
compensate for barometric pressure to 3000 m. Pressures below 876 mbar are
allowed at high load operation assuming that the gas differential pressure
requirements are still met.
The TJ50P fuel gas differential pressure (delta-p) should be between 69 and 345
mbar. Delta-p below this range is allowed during cranking and idle conditions, but
accuracy of the valve will be reduced. For delta-p above 276 mbar, flow accuracy
will also decrease, and a reduction in valve stability may occur. Refer to the
Accuracy section later in this chapter for further details.
The TJ50PPF fuel gas differential pressure (delta-p) should be between 51 and
276 mbar. Delta-p below this range is allowed during cranking and idle conditions,
but accuracy of the valve will be reduced. Delta-p above 276 mbar is not
recommended. Refer to the Accuracy section later in this chapter for further details.

accelerates smoothly to idle speed. The required fuel delivery up to 7% of valve
maximum rated effective area is within ±20% of the mass flow demand.
Throughout the load range, from idle to 100% load, the TecJet regulates the fuel
delivery accurately relative to the fuel flow demand in order to reduce combustion
emissions and protect the engine against detonation. The accuracy is within
±10% of the mass flow demand from >7% to 25% of valve maximum rated
effective area and within ±6% of the mass flow demand above 25% of valve
maximum rated effective area.
For delta-p above 275 mbar, an additional 1.5%, 1%, and 0.5%, respectively,
should be added to the accuracy values stated above. Delta pressure below the
minimum specified delta pressure will also significantly affect the accuracy values
stated above.

Valve Sizing
Figures 4-1 through 4-4 show the maximum and minimum amounts of gas that
the TecJet™ 50 Plus and TecJet 50 Plus Precision Flow will flow as a function of
pressure differential in kPa(d). Figures 4-1 and 4-2 indicate flow values for
specialty gas, while Figures 4-3 and 4-4 indicate flow values for natural gas.
Plots for the TecJet 110 and the TecJet 50 are also shown for comparison
purposes.
Comparing the TecJet vs Application Maximum Flow Rate

Choose the correct graph depending on your application flow media. Determine
the maximum flow rate for your application in a metric mass flow rate (kg/h).
Increase this value by 15% to ensure that the TecJet will handle the maximum
flow requirement under all conditions. Find this increased flow value on the left-
side Y-axis of the graph. Next, determine the approximate valve pressure drop at
the actual maximum flow for your application. Locate this value on the X-axis of
the graph. Metric [kPa(d)] units are provided. Note that the graphs assume the
application outlet pressure is at sea level atmospheric pressure. Take the
increased flow rate value and the pressure drop value, and determine where they
cross on the graph. This is the maximum flow operating point for your application.
This point should fall below the maximum flow plot for the TecJet in question.
Comparing the TecJet vs Application Minimum Flow Rate

Choose the correct graph depending on your application flow media. Determine
the minimum flow rate for your application in a metric mass flow rate (kg/h).
Reduced this value by 10% to ensure that the TecJet will handle the minimum
flow requirement under all conditions. Find this reduced flow value on the right-
side Y-axis of the graph. Next, determine the approximate valve pressure drop at
the actual minimum flow for your application. Locate this value on the X-axis of
the graph. Metric [kPa(d)] units are provided. Note that the graphs assume the
application outlet pressure is at sea level atmospheric pressure. Take the
reduced flow rate value and the pressure drop value, and determine where they
cross on the graph. This is the minimum flow operating point for your application.
This point should fall above the minimum flow plot for the TecJet in question.

Maintenance
General
Build-up of deposits near the metering area of the TecJet™ 50 Plus can develop
depending on the quality of the gas being metered. This build-up can affect the
performance of the TecJet and may appear as degradation of actual flow vs
command flow accuracy, or as flow control instability.
This procedure does not apply to the TecJet 50 Plus Precision Flow
version.
Limits of Applicability
Periodic cleaning may be performed and needed to ensure the best operation of
the TecJet. It is the customer’s responsibility to monitor the need for valid
scheduled maintenance, as this will vary depending on the quality of the gas in
the particular application.
The procedure below has been tested and validated for a particular gas
environment (mineral deposits); the applicability to other gaseous environment
needs to be validated by the OEM at the customer site.
Cleaning Procedure
When cleaning the metering element and the inside of the valve body, do not use
sharp objects that may scrape or dent the metering elements, as this could
degrade the accuracy of the valve. Any damage to the internal geometry of the
TecJet, especially the valve plate or bore area around the valve plate, will
change the calibration of the valve and void the warranty. High pressure washing
is not recommended. There are no components of the TecJet that are
replaceable or serviceable. Make sure that the power is disconnected before
removing the TecJet 50 Plus main connector.
A petrochemical solvent is recommended to clean (wash and brush) the valve

when minimal film/patina build up is observed.
In applications where solids (mineral deposits) are found in the gas, the following
procedure should be used (this procedure can be performed at the site):
 Position the TecJet in the fully open position.

 Place a plugged piece of tubing over the P1 probe to completely seal the
probe.
 Place a plug in the P2 port to completely seal it.
 Cap/seal the inlet flange of the TecJet.
 Fill the TecJet with a solution of 60 °C water and 2 tablespoons of Dawn (or
equivalent) dishwashing detergent.
 Cap/seal the outlet flange of the TecJet.
 Leave soap solution in the TecJet for 24 to 30 hours.
44 Woodward
Released

 Remove the cap/seal on the outlet flange of the TecJet.
 Dump the soap solution out of TecJet.
 Fill the TecJet with fresh 60 °C tap water and move the water around in the
valve bore with a long plastic rod or equivalent.
 Dump the rinse water out of the TecJet.
 Fill the TecJet again with fresh 60 °C tap water and move the water around
in the valve bore with a long plastic rod or equivalent.
 Dump the rinse water out of the TecJet.
 Remove the cap/seal on the inlet flange of the TecJet.
 Inspect the valve plate and bore area around the valve plate for any
remaining contamination.
 Use a soft plastic brush, or equivalent, to gently remove any remaining
contamination and rinse with tap water as necessary.
 Remove the tubing from the P1 probe.
 Remove the plug from the P2 port.
 Leave the valve bore open to air until completely dry.
 If contamination has been successfully removed, return the valve to service.
 If contamination still exists on the valve plate and/or bore area around the
valve plate, the unit will need to be replaced with a new unit.
