Experiments with an axial turbine

The axial turbine operates as a reaction turbine as used in gas tubines and steam turbines. The water flows through a stator where it is deflected and accelerated. Then, the water hits then the blades where it delivers kinetic energy and pressure energy and puts the rotor in motion.

• functioning and operating behaviour of an axial turbine
• closed water circuit contains axial turbine, pump and water tank
• transparent housing for observing the stator and the rotor
• turbine load using the wear-free and adjustable eddy current brake
• valve for adjusting the volumetric flow rate
• force sensor to determine the torque on turbine shaft
• measurement of turbine speed with optical speed sensor
• pressure measurement on inlet side
• determin. of volumetric flow rate using differential pressure measurement across a measuring orifice
• due to integrated microprocessor-based instrumentation no additional devices with error-prone wiring are required
• display and evaluation of the measured values as well as operation of the unit via software
• software: option to connect any number of external workstations on the local network to follow and analyse the experiment
• software with control functions and data acquisition via USB under Windows 11
