Kaplan turbine

Kaplan turbines are characterised by an axial flow through and adjustable blades. They are used at low heads and very large flow rates. Because Kaplan turbines belong to the double regulated turbines, meaning that both the guide vanes and the blades can be adjusted, they are suitable for operation at changing operating conditions.

In practice, Kaplan turbines are used in run-of-the river power plants. Learn about Kaplan turbine suppliers for optimal educational outcomes..
