SOGAV gas valves for improved engine performance

Woodward’s SOGAV solenoid-operated gas admission valves are a family of electrically actuated, high-response gas admission valves for in-manifold (port) fuel admission. They are used on four-cycle, turbocharged, natural gas or dual-fuel engines.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITY

The performance and characteristics of a gas and dual-fuel internal combustion engine are significantly influenced by Gas Admission Valves (SOGAV).Woodward’s SOGAV valves are a family of electrically actuated, high-response gas admission valves for in-manifold (port) fuel admission. They are used on four-cycle, turbocharged, natural gas or dual-fuel engines.One SOGAV valve is required for each cylinder. The SOGAV valve is designed as the valve portion of an overall gaseous fuel admission system delivering precise gas mass flow-metering per cylinder. This enables gas engines and dual-fuel engines to operate with lean burn – with increased efficiency and reduced emissions.

SOGAV valves provide reliable and precise control of gas fuel admission in multipoint gas and dual-fuel engines. Woodward SOGAV valves are used in power generation, marine, rail and mining vehicle applications. Available in gas mass flow-metering capacities ranging from 70kw/cyl to 1500kw/cyl.

KEY PRODUCT VARIANTS INCLUDE:

The SOGAV 105 OFFSET is the backbone of the large installed based and is commonly used in stationary power generation applications.The SOGAV 105 INSERT is predominantly selected and used for marine gas and dual-fuel engines. The integrated leak detection enables optimized designs around the engine inlet runner and double-wall gas.The SOGAV 65 is designed to meet marine double-wall gas-pipe systems and can be integrated for optimal gas admission and serviceability. It is mainly used for marine gas and dual-fuel engines. The SOGAV 250 gas admission valve is the backbone of the large installed based and is commonly used in very large bore stationary power generation and marine engine applications. For new marine application projects, the SOGAV 250 is being succeeded with a newly developed SOGAV 235.The SOGAV11/18 is the smallest-size SOGAV and is used in high-speed stationary power generation and vehicle applications.
