Demonstration Pelton Turbine

Demonstration Pelton Turbine

•    Water turbines are turbo machines utilizing waterpower.
•    The Pelton turbine is a type of impulse turbine; such turbines convert the pressure energy of water into kinetic energy entirely in the distributor.
•    During the conversion, the water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and directed onto the blades of the Pelton wheel tangentially.
•    The water jet is redirected by approximately 180° in the blades.
•    The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel.
•    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, is required.
•    A manometer shows the water pressure at the turbine inlet.
