SOLAR / HEAT SOURCE VAPOUR TURBINE

The vapour generator (or boiler) consists of a coiled copper tube through which a pressurised working fluid runs. The coil is immersed in an insulated tank containing hot water provided by either an electric resistance heater housed within the tank, or by an optional solar energy collector mounted outside. The vapour produced flows through a convergent-divergent nozzle and impinges on the blades of a single stage impulse turbine.

The turbine is mounted on the condenser and the exhaust vapour passes directly over a water-cooled coil. The condenser has a high strength glass shell and is partly flooded to provide the working fluid with sub-cooling. Learn about SOLAR / HEAT SOURCE VAPOUR TURBINE for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. An internal fixed speed positive displacement pump draws condensed solvent from the bottom of the condenser and delivers it via a control valve and flow meter to the vapour generator for re-evaporation. Maximum power is obtained at about 15,000 rev/min. Learn about Digital SOLAR / HEAT SOURCE VAPOUR TURBINE for optimal educational outcomes.. A simple band brake dynamometer applies and measures the resisting torque to the turbine shaft. An optical sensor senses the rotational speed of the turbine, displayed on a digital meter.
