Cross Flow Turbine Test Set

This set is designed for studying the Cross Flow turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.

The unit consists of a storage tank, a pump, a turbine, a dynamometer, a generator, and measuring instruments. Power output can be measured by either dynamometer or generator. The adjustable nozzle directs the water jet tangentially to the runner.

The unit is on wheels.

Instruction manual is also included.
