1. OVERVIEW AND DESCRIPTION

The HA14E and HA22E “Electrical Input” hydraulic amplifiers are pilot-operated servo actuators that
are used where a large force is required to operate steam control valves of turbines or fuel control
linkages of large reciprocating engines. The HA14E and HA22E amplifiers are integrated with an
EHI (Electro-Hydraulic Integrated) actuator, for positioning of the amplifier pilot valve via a
proportional electrical input signal.

Refer to Figures 1A and 1B for physical outline diagrams of the HA14E and HA22E amplifiers.

The EHI actuator is installed within the hydraulic amplifier. The EHI actuator changes a proportional
electrical input signal ranging from 0 to 200 mA, to a rotary mechanical output. This output, through
mechanical linkage, controls the movement of the amplifier pilot valve plunger. The amplifier pilot
valve distributes high-pressure control oil from the turbine / engine lubricating system or an external
pump, to the “Increase” (Open) side of a single–acting (spring loaded) servo cylinder. A return
spring force acting on the close side of the servo cylinder piston provides the “Decrease” (Closing)
forces. The piston is, in turn, is connected directly to the prime mover power control mechanism.
Amplifiers with single–acting servo cylinders are typically used in applications where a high opening
force is required. Here, an oil transfer sleeve is used to block the flow of oil to the closing side of
the piston and simultaneously vents the area to drain (refer to Figure 3–A, “Appendix” section). This
allows the servo cylinder to function as a “Single–Acting, Spring–Return” type. This increases
the effective piston area on the opening side of the piston and therefore the opening force of the
amplifier. The closing force is reduced to that of the spring alone.

For the HA22E amplifier, various return spring preloads within a range of 222 – 8896 N (50 to 2000
lbs) may be used depending on the closing forces of the steam valve itself (or other fuel control)
and/or the steam valve unbalance forces of the application. Return springs for the HA14E amplifier
range spring preloads from 222 to 1779 N (50 to 400 lbs).

For “Single Acting” servo cylinders, the maximum work output of the HA22E (184mm diameter
servo cylinder) can be up to 7070 J (5225 ft-lbs) at the maximum stroke of 76.2 mm and 3790 kPa
(3.0” and 550 PSI). The stalled force developed is around 93,000 N (20,900 lbs). Similarly, the
maximum work output of the HA14E (133mm diameter servo cylinder) can be up to 2900 J (2140 ft-
lbs) at the maximum stroke of 63.5 mm and 3790 kPa (2.5” and 550 PSI). The stalled force
developed is around 45,700 N (10,270 lbs).

In some other applications, the hydraulic amplifier may be used as “Double–Acting” (differential)
servo cylinder. Here, an oil plug is fitted instead of the oil transfer sleeve (refer to Figure 3–B,
“Appendix” section). This model is pressure actuated in both “Increase” and “Decrease” fuel
directions. It also has a return spring specifically designed to counteract the unbalanced forces
tending to open the control valve. This provides a balanced servo system with a “Linear” response
throughout the full stroke of the amplifier. More importantly, the return spring ensures closing of the
valve in the event of loss of oil pressure and also ensures that the steam control valve (or fuel
control valve) remains in the “Close” position during shutdown.

For “Double Acting” servo cylinders, the maximum work output and stalled torque is LOWER than
for “Single Acting” servo cylinders. The maximum work output of the HA22E (184mm diameter
servo cylinder) can be up to 4560 J (3370 ft-lbs) at the maximum stroke of 76.2 mm and 3790 kPa
(3.0” and 550 PSI). The stalled force developed is around 60,000 N (13,500 lbs). Similarly, the
maximum work output of the HA14E (133mm diameter servo cylinder) can be up to 1490 J (1100 ft-
lbs) at the maximum stroke of 63.5 mm and 3790 kPa (2.5” and 550 PSI). The stalled force
developed is around 23,500 N (5280 lbs).

Note 1: Typically HA22E and HA14E amplifiers are supplied as “Single Acting” servo type.
Note 2: The HA22E/14E amplifier work output is proportional to the control oil pressure and
diameter of its respective servo cylinder piston.
Note 3: Consult Heinzmann Australia for specific application requirements for HA22E/14E amplifier
to suit the specific steam control valve interface.

2. INSTALLATION
If a good transient response is required, it is essential that the amplifier be provided with an
adequate supply of oil. For the HA14E amplifier, this rate of movement requires a flow of 320 L/Min.
For the HA22E amplifier, this rate of movement requires a flow of 760 L/Min. If it is not practical for
oil pumps to directly provide this flow rate, and then the use of accumulators will be required (eg.
nitrogen-charged accumulators). A minimum accumulator size of 20 L capacity (or greater) is
recommended. Lubricating oil used for the prime mover (turbine or engine) is generally acceptable
for use in the hydraulic amplifier. The oil supply to the amplifier may be supplied directly from the
prime mover lubricating oil system or from an independent auxiliary oil pump.

The hydraulic amplifier may be installed either vertically or horizontally (for horizontal mounting the
electrical connector should be facing “Up”). Ensure that connecting lines should be as large, short
and straight as possible. Elbows should be avoided. If the turbine (or engine) mounting base has
integral provisions for drain to sump or reservoir, the drain from “bottom” option should be used to
provide direct drainage through the mounting base. The amplifier may also be drained from either
side of the case, if applicable. Also, it is recommended that a 10µm (nominal) oil filter be used for
oil filtration of the amplifier’s hydraulic supply.

Make sure that the linkage connecting the amplifier to the fuel rack or steam control valve operates
freely and has minimum backlash. Lower the amplifier piston rod (by around 3 to 6 mm) and adjust
the connecting turn buckle until the fuel rack or steam control valve is in the desired position.

WARNING
1) The prime mover MUST be equipped with a separate overspeed (or where applicable,
over temperature, and/or overpressure, protection devices) to protect against
runaway or damage to the prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life
should the electronic governor(s), the actuator(s), the driving mechanism(s), the
linkage(s), or the controlled device(s) fail.
2) Burn Hazard – The surface of this product may become hot enough to be a hazard.
Use protective gear for product handling in these circumstances. Temperature
ratings are included in the specification section of this manual.
3) Explosion Hazard – External fire protection is not provided in the product scope. It is
the responsibility of the user to satisfy any applicable requirements for their system.

CAUTION
1) Considerable oil spray over a large area will occur if the side plate is removed and
the amplifier cycled while under pressure. ALWAYS make certain the cover is
installed before operating the amplifier.
2) Due to the hazardous location listings associated with this product, proper wire type
and wiring practices are critical for operating this product.
3) Do NOT connect any cable grounds to “instrument ground”, “control ground”, or
any non-earth ground system. Make all required electrical connections based on the
wiring diagrams.

Note 1: It is important to conduct “Actuator – Amplifier Stroke Test” to verify correct output
positioning between electronic governor output & feedback, actuator shaft output, amplifier input
and amplifier shaft output to position the control valve. This test should be carried out prior to
turbine / engine starting after ensuring there is sufficient oil pressure supply for the amplifier.

Note 2: An Oil Supply Flange is provided and fitted to the amplifier supply connection. Also, note
the Lubrication Pipe providing oil supply for lubrication of the output shaft seal and bearing
assembly. It is important that the Oil Supply Flange and Lubrication Pipe should NOT be removed
prior, during or after the amplifier installation.

Note 3: The HA22E / HA14E amplifiers operate in three (3) control pressure ranges:
i) Nominal pressure 10 Bar (145 PSI) ; 6.9 Bar to 12.1 Bar (100 PSI to 175 PSI) range
ii) Nominal pressure 17 Bar (247 PSI) ; 12.2 Bar to 20.7 Bar (176 PSI to 300 PSI) range
iii) Nominal pressure 30 Bar (435 PSI) ; 20.8 Bar to 37.9 Bar (301 PSI to 550 PSI) range
Consult Heinzmann Australia regarding the appropriate option to suit the required application.

3. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Introduction

Refer to figures 3A and 3B for operation of the EHI actuator and hydraulic amplifiers (“Single
Acting” and “Double Acting” servo cylinders) respectively.

EHI Actuator

The EHI actuator is an Electro-Hydraulic transducer Integrated within the hydraulic amplifier, and
requires a proportional electrical input signal (0 – 200 mA). It controls oil flow to and from a power
piston through the action of a two-coil polarized solenoid, a permanent magnet, a centering spring,
and a pilot valve plunger.

The magnet is fastened to the pilot valve plunger. It is held within the magnetic field of the solenoid
by the centering spring and the restoring spring. The centering spring forces the magnet and pilot
valve plunger in the decrease speed (power) direction. When the solenoid is energised, the
restoring spring and magnet forces the pilot valve plunger in the increase speed (power) direction.

The movement of two opposing pistons rotates the actuator output terminal shaft. Pressure oil from
supply to the amplifier is directed to one side of a loading piston. This hydraulic circuit maintains a
constant load on the actuator linkage and always tries to rotate the output shaft in the decrease
direction. The loading piston cannot move unless movement of the power piston occurs in the
opposite direction. Oil flow to and from the power piston is controlled by the position of the
actuator’s pilot valve plunger. When the control land on the pilot valve plunger is centred over the
control port in the pilot valve bushing, oil flow to and from the power piston stops, except to
compensate for leakage, and no movement of the output shaft occurs.

During steady-state operation, the combination of restoring spring force and magnetic attraction at
any current level trying to move the magnet and pilot valve plunger in a direction to increase power,
is balanced by the centering spring force.

Any change in the current level of the input signal causes a comparable change in the magnetic
attraction of the solenoid. A decrease in current level decreases the magnetic attraction, which
causes a decrease in force opposing the centering spring. The centering spring moves the magnet
and plunger in the decrease direction, opening the control port to the power piston and permitting
oil to drain. The supply pressure on the loading piston then causes the output shaft to rotate in a
decrease direction.

As the output shaft rotates, its movement is followed by the feedback linkage which increases the
restoring spring compression at a rate proportional to the movement of the output shaft.

The magnet and pilot valve plunger centres when the output shaft reaches its new position as
demanded by the electronic governor. This is in response to the change in prime mover speed
setting or load. Any “Overshoot” following a correction for decrease in speed or load is therefore
minimised.

An increase in current level, increases the magnetic attraction of the solenoid. This causes an
increase in the force opposing the centering spring. Since the restoring spring force and magnetic
field is now greater than the centering spring force, the magnet and plunger move in the increase
power direction. This uncovers the control port and admits oil at the supply pressure (less the
pressure drop occurring across the pilot valve) into the power piston chamber.

The power piston and loading piston have the same area, but the power piston has a greater
mechanical advantage due to a longer lever arm. Therefore, a lower control pressure in the power
piston chamber generates enough force to move the output shaft in an increase direction, raising
the amplifier pilot valve plunger. As the output shaft rotates, the feedback linkage decreases the
restoring spring compression, which permits the magnet and plunger to re-centre when the output
shaft reaches its new steady-state position.

_________________________________________________________________________

Hydraulic Amplifier

The output shaft of the EHI actuator is fastened to the amplifier connecting lever by an output shaft
and an adequate link. Any change in position of the EHI actuator output shaft is transmitted to the
amplifier pilot valve plunger which controls the flow of oil to and from the servo cylinder. Pressure
oil from an external supply is directed to the EHI actuator, to the pilot valve, and to the bottom
(decrease) side of the servo piston.

Refer to Figures 3–A for schematic of the HA14E and HA22E amplifier operation using a single–
acting (spring loaded) servo cylinder. When the electronic governor (eg. Si-TEC Xtend CGC /
ADG) senses a “lower” speed condition and signals for an increase in speed (power), the EHI
actuator output shaft rotates in the increase direction. This raises the left end of the floating lever,
which lifts the pilot valve plunger, admitting oil at the supply pressure (less the pressure drop
occurring across the pilot valve) to the top (increase) side of the servo piston. The oil pressure on
the top side of the piston is greater than that on the bottom (decrease) side and moves the servo
piston in the increase direction (overcoming the return spring force). As the piston moves, the end
of the floating lever connected to the piston rod also moves in the same direction until the land on
the pilot valve plunger is re-centred over the oil control port, stopping further movement of the servo
piston.

During an equilibrium (steady state) condition, the EHI actuator output shaft is maintained in a given
position by the electronic governor, and the pilot valve plunger land is held in the centred position
over the control port. With flow to the top side of the servo piston blocked (except to compensate for
leakage), the servo piston maintains its position as set by the electronic governor and load on the
turbine (or engine).

When the electronic governor senses a “higher” speed condition and signals for a decrease in
speed (power), the EHI actuator output shaft is rotated in the decrease direction. This lowers one
end of the floating lever and pushes the pilot valve plunger downward, which allows oil to drain from
the top side of the servo piston. This provides sufficient force on the servo piston by the return
spring, and causes the servo piston to move in the decrease direction. Piston movement continues
until the pilot valve plunger is again re-centred by the floating lever.

Refer to Figure 3–B for schematic of the HA14E and HA22E amplifier operation using a double–
acting (differential) servo cylinder. When the electronic governor (eg. Si-TEC Xtend CGC / ADG)
senses a “lower” speed condition and signals for an increase in speed (power), the EHI actuator
output shaft rotates in the increase direction. This raises the left end of the floating lever, which lifts
the pilot valve plunger, admitting oil at the supply pressure (less the pressure drop occurring across
the pilot valve) to the top (increase) side of the servo piston. Although the oil pressure on the top
side of the piston is the same as that on the bottom (decrease) side and moves the servo piston in
the increase direction. As the piston moves, the end of the floating lever connected to the piston rod
also moves in the same direction until the land on the pilot valve plunger is re-centred over the oil
control port, stopping further movement of the servo piston.

During an equilibrium (steady state) condition, the EHI actuator output shaft is maintained in a given
position by the electronic governor, and the pilot valve plunger land is held in the centred position
over the control port. With flow to the top side of the servo piston blocked (except to compensate for
leakage), the servo piston maintains its position as set by the electronic governor and load on the
turbine (or engine).

When the electronic governor senses a “higher” speed condition and signals for a decrease in
speed (power), the EHI actuator output shaft is rotated in the decrease direction. This lowers one
end of the floating lever and pushes the pilot valve plunger downward, which allows oil to drain from
the top side of the servo piston. This provides sufficient force on the servo piston by the return
spring, and causes the servo piston to move in the decrease direction. Piston movement continues
until the pilot valve plunger is again re-centred by the floating lever.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

The following list outlines the more common problems associated with the EHI actuator and
hydraulic amplifier, which may not necessarily be due to the actuator or amplifier itself. It should be
noted that all possible problems cannot be anticipated and may, in some instances be due to faulty
operation of auxiliary equipment. The effect of the electronic governor, oil supply system, steam
control valve, etc. MUST be considered when troubleshooting apparent malfunctions of the EHI
actuator and hydraulic amplifier.

EHI Actuator

1) No actuator response to input signal at any level from 0 to 9 Vdc

• Probable cause: Low or no oil pressure to amplifier
Correction: Check prime mover lubricating oil or external oil supply system for proper
operation.
