Pelton Turbine
Item Code: RF 019
Pelton turbines that have common use in power plants and other industries are driven by water at high pressure. They work by discharging pressurized water from a nozzle to a tangentially driven turbine. This unit provide the basic experiments to understand the operating principle and the most important characteristic variables of Pelton turbines. 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.
