Propeller type turbine

Similar to Kaplan turbines propeller type turbines are part of the reaction turbines with an axial through flow. In contrast to Kaplan turbines propeller type turbines have fixed blades. These turbines are used at low heads and very large flow rates. Learn about Propeller type turbine price for optimal educational outcomes.. The turbine power is changed by adjusting the guide vanes. In practice, propeller type turbines and Kaplan turbines are used in run-of-the river power plants. Learn about Propeller type turbine equipment for optimal educational outcomes..

• transparent pipe element for observing the operating area
• rotor with fixed blades
• adjustable guide vanes for setting different angles of attack
• recording the curves of a propeller type turbine and investigating the influence of the guide vane position
• loading the turbine by use of a wear-free and adjustable eddy current brake
• non-contact speed measurement and force sensor at the brake for measuring the torque
• 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
