Francis turbine

The Francis turbine is part of the reaction turbines which convert the pressure energy of water into kinetic energy in the distributor and in the rotor. Francis turbines are used at medium heads and large flow rates. The turbine power is changed by adjusting the guide vanes. Learn about Francis turbine exporters for optimal educational outcomes.. In practice, Francis turbines are used in run-of-the river power plants and in storage power plants.

• recording the curves of a Francis turbine and investigating the influence of the guide vane position
• transparent front panel for observing the operating area
• adjustable guide vanes for setting different angles of attack
• loading the turbine by use of the adjustable band brake
• recording the torque via band brake and force sensor
• pressure sensor at the turbine inlet
• speed, torque and pressure displayed on the switch cabinet
• water supply, flow rate measurement and data processing software via base unit
