Manually Stroking QuickTrip Using ProTechTPS (powered)

Manually stroking valve using ProTechTPS procedure:

1. If QuickTrip is in a run state, as indicated by a green LED as viewed through the sight glass,

QuickTrip may be manually tripped by de-energizing the ProTechTPS interposing relay to initiate a

trip. This may be done by using the Temporary Overspeed Setpoint Test (see ProTechTPS product

manual for more detailed instructions on this function).

2. If QuickTrip is in a trip state, as indicated by a red LED as viewed through the sight glass, QuickTrip

may be energized to close by activating the ProTechTPS interposing relay to initiate a run state. This

may be done by pressing the RESET button on the front panel of the ProTechTPS (see the

ProTechTPS product manual if module does not reset when the RESET button is pressed).

The user is permitted to replace some components of the QuickTrip in turbine shutdown conditions. The

user is also permitted to replace some components of the QuickTrip during normal turbine operation

conditions. The replacement components must be Woodward recommended products. Only this

guarantees full component compatibility and functionality. All safety instructions and detailed procedures

from this manual must be followed.

Manually Stroking QuickTrip (powered)

Manually Stroking Valve Procedure:

1. To manually stroke the QuickTrip valve, the actuators must be powered with 24 VDC. Make sure the

power supply is connected and operating while performing this procedure. This can be verified by

viewing the LED status through the sight window on top of the valve. One or two blue LED’s indicate

that the power supply is connected and is turned on.

2. If QuickTrip is in a run state, as indicated by a green LED as viewed through the sight glass,

QuickTrip may be manually tripped either by de-energizing the logic solver interposing relay to initiate

a trip state or by tripping the breaker to the Control In discrete input terminals on the QuickTrip

electronics module (terminals 5 and 6 of TB2).

3. If QuickTrip is in a trip state, as indicated by a red as LED viewed through the sight glass, QuickTrip

may be energized to close either by activating the logic solver interposing relay to initiate a run state

or by supplying a separate 24 VDC input to the Control In terminals on the QuickTrip electronics

module (terminals 5 and 6 of TB2).

The QuickTrip trip block assembly is designed for use in steam, gas, and hydro

turbine shutdown systems for quick and reliable dumping of the turbine’s trip oil

header. This integrated trip block assembly is intended for use on mechanical-drive

or generator-drive steam turbines that use low pressure (5–25 bar / 73–363 psi)

hydraulic trip oil headers.

The QuickTrip’s fault tolerant design makes it ideal for critical steam turbine

applications, where turbine up-time and availability are essential. This trip block

assembly’s 2-out-of-3 voting design provides users with a very high level of system

reliability as well as compliance with industry standard API-670.

The QuickTrip is certified for use in IEC61508 based turbine safety systems, and

when paired with the Woodward ProTechTPS, can be applied into systems that

require a “Safety Integrity Level – 3” rating or below.

Rotary Trip Valves

All three of the QuickTrip’s trip valves are spring return, two position rotary valves. When any of the

hydraulic valves is in its closed position, the ports in the valve are blocked preventing hydraulic flow

through the valve. As a valve rotates to the tripped position, the ports open and the trip header pressure

is connected to either the drain, or the inlet ports of another one of the valves. The combined action of

the three valves results in trip header pressure being connected to drain only when 2 or 3 valves are

tripped.

If the unit detects any shutdown condition or loss of power occurs, the trip valve return springs will force

the valves to the fail-safe / tripped position.

Electric Valve Actuators

The QuickTrip uses a set of three unique rotary solenoids called limited angle torquers (LAT). The

permanent magnet rotor is directly coupled to the trip valve.

The position of the valves is sensed by two limit switches present on each of the electrical modules.

These limit switches are located on both the closed and tripped positions of the valves, allowing the user

to easily determine the position of each valve.

Chemically Resistant Versions

For steam turbine applications where lube oil contains harsh chemical contaminants (ammonia, hydrogen

sulfide, etc.), a chemically resistant version of the QuickTrip has been developed. Chemically resistant

versions feature best-in-class seals in all wetted locations within the trip block assembly. Chemically

resistant versions provide an optimal solution for extreme chemical resistance while still maintaining

QuickTrip operating pressure and temperature ranges. Please contact Woodward for available models

and information regarding chemical resistance for specific applications.

Electronic Driver Modules (PCB)

The printed circuit boards (PCB) are mounted on of the top of each valve module. The PCB(s) performs

the following tasks:

• Trip demand input

• Dual redundant power inputs

• Valve position feedback discrete outputs

• Visual valve position indication

Discrete outputs are provided for position feedback indication of each valve module. Within each valve

module, there are also four LEDs that indicate the current condition of the module as well as power

supply health. These LEDs are viewable through the module covers’ transparent sight window.

Redundancy/Availability

Designed for use in critical gas and steam turbine applications where turbine up time is important, the

QuickTrip uses three isolated solenoid valves designed to be driven by a triple modular redundant 2-out

of-3 voting based safety logic solver. Each isolated solenoid valve uses redundant power supply inputs to

increase both system reliability and availability. Note: only one power source is required to

power/energize each of the isolated solenoid valves.

On-Line Repairable

The QuickTrip’s modular design allows independent repair/replacement of each valve’s solenoid,

electrical module, and associated power supplies and wiring to increase both system reliability and

availability. Note: only one power source is required to power/energize each of the isolated

solenoid valves.

Each valve solenoid accepts power for one or two (redundant) power sources and has the following

status indications to assist operators with understanding the status and health of each valve.

• Valve Open—Local LED (red)

• Valve Open—Limit Switch

• Valve Closed—Local LED (green)

• Valve Closed—Limit Switch

• Power Supply #1 Healthy—Local LED (blue)

• Power Supply #2 Healthy—Local LED (blue)

Valve Status (local & remote)

• Valve Closed—Local LED (green)

• Valve Closed—Limit Switch

The QuickTrip is specifically designed for gas and steam turbine applications where turbine lube oil is

also used to power the hydraulic turbine control valve actuator(s). Gas and steam turbine applications can

be extremely challenging for hydraulic trip block assemblies as dirt, metal shavings, water, and other

contaminants are common in such oil systems. Also, due to the high temperatures at which turbines

operate, turbine oil breakdown is common, resulting in the creation of a sludge-type substance and the

varnishing of internal system components. However, the QuickTrip is designed to operate reliably within

such challenging applications. Its corrosion-resistant materials, rotary valve design, and self-cleaning

ports allow it to operate in such applications without experiencing undesirable sticking or dragging.

In the past, older style trip block assemblies utilized internal orifices and pressure gauges to verify

solenoid valve operation, causing many maintenance problems when applied in turbine lube-oil-powered

trip systems. Since the QuickTrip does not utilize problematic orifices or pressure gauges, maintenance is

reduced, and system reliability improved.
