Demonstration Francis Turbine

Demonstration Francis Turbine

•    The turbine torque is determined by force measurement on a band brake and is read on spring balances.
•    For measuring the rotational speed, a non-contact speed sensor.
•    A manometer shows the water pressure at the turbine inlet.
•    Water turbines are turbo machines utilizing waterpower.
•    The water is fed in the control device by means of a spiral housing.  
•    The Francis turbine is part of the reaction turbines, which convert the pressure energy of the water into kinetic energy in the control device and in the impeller.
•    The flowing water is accelerated in the control device by the adjustable guide vanes and directed onto the vanes of the impeller.
•    The redirection and further acceleration of the water in the impeller generates an impulse, which is transmitted to the Francis wheel.
