Description

Mini Kaplan Turbine Test Set. This is a self-contained bench top set for studying the Kaplan turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.

The unit consists of a storage tank on a steel base, a pump, a mini Kaplan turbine, a dynamometer, and measuring instruments.

The adjustable guide vanes direct water helically to the runner.

Instruction manual is also included.

TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
  • Torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
  • Power output vs speed for various heads and flow rates.
  • Efficiency vs speed for a given head and flow rate.
  • Racing characteristics.
