Compact Pelton & Francis Turbine Test Set
Compact Pelton & Francis Turbine Test Set is a self contained set of Pelton and Francis turbines, designed for studying the turbine characteristics.
Description
Compact Pelton & Francis Turbine Test Set. This is a self contained set of Pelton and Francis turbines, designed for studying the turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.
The unit consists of a pump, a storage tank, a Pelton and a Francis turbine connected in parallel, a dynamometer for each turbine, and measuring instruments. The unit is on adjustable footings.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
Each turbine can be tested on the following:
- 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.
