Hydraulic Low Head Vertical Spiral Kaplan Turbine Generator

Hydraulic Low Head Vertical Spiral Fixed Blade Kaplan Turbine Generator 400-1000KW

The design of the vertical Spiral kaplan turbine according to operational data is based on numerical flow simulations for the step-by-step optimisation of the guide vane and runner blade design developed. The spiral and draft tube geometries were made available by the customer and were later modified in order to reach the highest possible top efficiency level.

Additionally, a flow-and-pressure-coefficient efficiency shell has been calculated which enables the conversion and the scaling of the hydraulics for other power plant applications with similar specific speeds. The power plant went to line in 2011, and since then it produces environmentally friendly/green electricity from hydropower.

Advantage	Advantage
1. The difference in operating head can be extra simply controlled in Francis turbine than in Pelton wheel turbine. 2. Ratio of utmost and least operating head can be even be two in case of Francis Turbine. 3. Mechanical efficiency of pelton wheel decrease faster by wear than Francis turbine. 4. Francis turbine variation in operating head can be more simply controlled. 5. No head failure occurs still at low discharge of water.	Covers the boundary between Francis and Pelton. 1. Limits Over-Pressure Effect over the penstock. 2. Higher speed = weight and cost reduction. 3. Maintains efficiency over a wide flow range. 4. Superior abrasion resistance. 5. Ease of operation and maintenance.
