Optional Features
An oil cooler is recommended when governor oil temperature exceeds 99 °C (210 °F) or
governor drive shaft speed exceeds 1200 rpm on diesel or gas engines,
or 1100 rpm on steam turbines.
Air, oil, or water shutdown devices, either high or low pressure, are available for
engine protection. An energize or de-energize solenoid shutdown device is also
available.
For quick starts, a booster servomotor is available to supply immediate oil pressure
to the governor. This conserves engine starting air.
Preloaded buffer springs are available for governors used on gas engines and on
some engines driving reciprocating pumps.
Various base and power cylinder assemblies are available to conform to engine or
turbine manufacturer’s specifications.
Power servos may be mounted integrally on the governor with the terminal shaft in
either the 3. 6. 9. or 12 o’clock positions. Power servos also may be mounted
remotely from the governor. However, rotary power servos mount vertically only.
