PELTON WHEEL TURBINE DEMONSTRATION

Product Description

Specification:

PELTONWHEEL TURBINE DEMONSTRATION

This accessory comprises a miniaturePelton wheel with spear-valve arrangement mounted on a support frame, whichfits on to the Hydraulics Bench top channel. Mechanical output from the turbineis absorbed using a simple friction dynamo meter. Pressure at the spear valveis indicated on a remote gauge.

A non-contacting tachometer may beused to determine the speed of the Pelton wheel. Basic principles of the Peltonturbine may be demonstrated and, with appropriate measurements, power producedand efficiency may be determined.

Demonstration Capabilities:-

Determining the operatingcharacteristics, ie power, efficiency and torque, of a Pelton turbine at variousspeeds
