Hydroturbine Governors

[wbd]

I'm looking at replacing some 1920's vintage Lombard governors on some small (<2000 kW) hydroelectric generators. Does anyone have any suggestions, vendors (besides Woodward)?

Thanks in advance.

hi wbd,
my first reaction when reading your thread was-- is there any thing other than woodward???

I do however remember working on an aged system by Foxboro a long time ago (before them new fangled computa gyzmos)> It was pnuematic and ran a small lp steam pump. I have not kept any technical sheets for it so I can't help there directly but I suggest trying the likes of Foxboro, honeywell and rosemount they may help.

Another place which may sound off beat but I do think will help is the hobby enginner club sites. You know the guys with steam tractors huffing & puffing around on sundays. A lot of companies advertise their wares thru these clubs

any way they are my suggestions for today. If I have anymore I will post them.

Regards
Don
