Pelton Turbine Test Rig

Pelton Turbine Test Rig

•    The transparent cover enables to observe the water flow, the Pelton wheel and the nozzle during operation.
•    The nozzle cross-section and thus the flow rate are modified by adjusting the nozzle needle.
•    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.
•    The water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and hits the Pelton wheel tangentially.
•    In the blades on the circumference of the Pelton wheel the water jet is deflected by approximately 180°.
•    The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel.
•    Speed range: 0-2000 rpm
•    Brake power: 10W
•    Pressure gauge range: 0-25m H2O
•    Force balance range: 0-20N x 0.2N
•    Number of Pelton buckets: 16
•    Diameter of Pelton wheel: 123mm
•    Power required: 230v, 50hz, 1ph
•    Dimension: 1000x800x1200mm
•    Weight: approx. 90 kg
