An excellent solution to retrofit the Woodward UG25+ governor in order to reduce lifetime cost by more than 50%

The DG 2800.14 governor is a microprocessor-controlled hydraulic governor for diesel or dual-fuel engines and steam turbines. It comprises the well-proven REGULATEURS EUROPA 2800 series actuator and the HEINZMANN digital DC 14 governor. The digital governor controls the proportional solenoid of the actuator by means of a current signal.

The DG 2800.14 includes an integrated speed pick-up; however, an external pick-up can be connected if required. The DC 14 digital governor provides state-of-the-art speed control (steady state speed wander <0.1% at nominal speed), start fuel limit, and functionality typical for generator application, including isochronous load sharing (optional).

The software sets the gear ratio between the crankshaft and the governor drive. In this way, all speed-related settings in the software refer to “engine rpm.” The DC 14 digital governor is set up with the user-friendly interface program DcDesk. Also, 20 selectable parameters can be edited using the unit’s keypad and display (password protected).

Application range:

  • Medium-speed diesel engines
  • Dual-fuel engines
  • Steam turbines

Output range Nm: 20.3 | 41.7
Output range ft lbf: 15 | 30

Marine certification: DNV GL, ABS

PRO TIP:
