Hydro turbine types introduction

Francis Turbine Generator

Specifications:

The diameter of the runner is 0.42m- 5.0m;
Suitable water head: H =8m- 140m;
Suitable flow: Q =0.20m3/s- 20.0m3/s;
Capacity of the generator unit: 50kw -50000kw.

Advantages:

Francis Type Turbine-Generator is suitable for hydropower station of middle or high water head and medium-sized flow. Because the structure of the Turbine-Generator is simple , and it is reliable to run,. suitable for various water head and include many types of runners, they can be widely used. it is suitable for hydropower stations whose water head change largely.

Turgo Turbine Generator

Specifications: Inclined Type Turbine-Generator Units XJA-W-32 ~ XJA-W-63;
The diameter of the runner is 0.32m- 0.63m;
Suitable water lead: H =30- 205m;
Suitable flow: Q =0.089- 2.30m3/s

Advantages:

The units are powerful, noiselessly, good stability, failure-free operation, reliable quality and deeply trusted by domestic and international users.

Pelton Turbine Generator

Specifications: Pelton Type Turbine-Generator Units
Type of the runners : CJA237-W-45- 145
The diameter of the runner is from 0.45m- 2.5m;
Suitable water head: H =84m- 1200m;
Suitable flow: Q =0.08m3/s- 4.10m3/s
The capacity of the generator unit: 50KW- 10000KW.

Advantages:

It is suitable for high water head and little flow hydropower stations in mountain areas. The units have many advantages such as simple structure, wide stability and little investment.

Kaplan (Propeller) Turbine Generator

Specifications:
Propeller Type Turbine-Generator Units ZD760 and ZD560 series products;
The diameter of the runner: 0.3m- 3.5m;
Suitable water head: H =2m- 30m;
The capacity of the generator unit: 50KW- 4000KW

Advantages:

It is suitable for hydropower stations whose water head and power change largely, and can run efficiently and stably in all kinds of situation.

Tubular Turbine Generator

Specifications:

Tubular water turbines GD006 and GD008 series products;
The diameter of the runner: 1.2m- 4.5m;
Suitable water head: H =3m- 15m;
The capacity of the generator unit: 250KW- 8000KW

Advantages:

It is suitable for areas such as plain, hills and coasts in which the water head is low and flow is large This type has large flow, high-efficient wide area. Compared with vertical axle flowing type units, it is with high efficiency, the factory building is little in excavating amount, and hydropower station water conservancy project investment can save 10%- 20%, equipment investment saves 5%- 10%.
