The new CPC-II converter product line is designed to directly replace its predecessor, the CPC converter product line. The CPC-II (current-to-pressure converter, generation 2) is an electrohydraulic pressure-regulating valve designed for use in positioning single-acting steam turbine valve cylinders. This converter’s superb accuracy and resolution make it ideal for steam
turbine throttle valve control and related turbine speed and load control.
A major design improvement from its predecessor is its improved robustness and resistance to dirty oil. This converter was created to assist with solving the steam turbine market’s number one reliability problem: oil contamination. The CPC-II’s new robust design (stronger actuator, corrosion-resistant material, single moving rotary valve, and self-cleaning port design) makes it
ideal for challenging applications where dirty or contaminated oil may be used.
