Product Description

FRANCIS TURBINE TRAINER

The unit enables examinations of the function and operating behavior of a Francis turbine.
The dimensions of the trainer guarantee realistic measured values.
The closed water circuit consists of a tank with optional cooling, a centrifugal pump and a flow control valve for adjusting the inlet pressure.
The transparent operating area of the turbine enables an optimal view of water flow, rotor and guide vanes during operation.
By adjusting the guide vanes the angle of attack, the cross-section and thus the output of the turbine are changed.
An asynchronous machine is used as a generator for loading the turbine.
A pump with variable speed via frequency converter provides for an energy efficient operation.
The measured values are displayed digitally and processed further on a PC.
The output data of the examined turbine are determined and represented by characteristic curves.
