EXPERIMENTAL IMPULSE TURBINE Deluxe

This impulse turbine is a single stage, axial flow impulse machine, operating on air, specially designed for experimental and teaching purposes. An impulse turbine with 4 separate nozzles and control valves, a throttle valve and belt brake dynamometer allow inlet and outlet air temperatures to be recorded, enabling the temperature drop due to work output to be measured. The turbine rotor is carried by a steel shaft which runs in oil lubricated ball bearings. Learn about EXPERIMENTAL IMPULSE TURBINE equipment for optimal educational outcomes.. The rotor is machined from solid brass and has 45 blades of symmetrical shape with tip angles of approximately 40°. A stainless steel shroud ring is fitted on to the blades to minimise tip leakage and increase strength. Learn about EXPERIMENTAL IMPULSE TURBINE specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. The nozzle plate carries four equally spaced convergent nozzles which discharge at 20° to the plane of rotation into the blades. A removable thick walled stainless steel sleeve is attached to the nozzle plate with quick release catches, forming a combined guard and exhaust casing for the turbine.

The end of this casing is closed by a polycarbonate window which allows observation of the rotor in operation. Each nozzle is provided with its own isolating valve so that the number of nozzles in operation may be varied.
