-Determining the
turbine characteristics of the selected turbine, including the
relationships of volume flow rate, head, torque produced, power output
and efficiency to rotational speed.
-Comparison of nozzle and throttling control of an Impulse Turbine.
-Comparison of throttle control and spear valve control of the speed of a Pelton Turbine.
-Determination of characteristic performance curves for a peripheral
pump, including constant speed head/flow and efficiency curves.
The turbine under test is connected to the dynamometer by a toothed drive belt. Load is applied to the turbine using a magnetic brake controlled directly from the computer. The outer casing of the brake is restrained from rotating by a lever arm which is connected to a load cell, which allows the braking force and hence the torque produced to be directly measured. The dynamometer unit also incorporates an optical sensor which measures the rotational speed of the turbine.
