TH 01.4 – Friction Brake Kaplan Turbine
The TH 01.4 equipment simulates a small-scale installation with a Kaplan turbine.
Description
The equipment comes with 3 propellers with different input and output angles, which can be exchanged quickly and easily.
The equipment is designed for the study and display both the behavior and the characteristics of a Kaplan turbine.
Learning Objectives
- Turbine characteristic curves:
- Torque – speed (M-n) *.
- Brake power – speed (Pe- n) *.
- Performance – speed (h– n).*
- Torque – U (M-U).
- Brake power – U (Pe- U).
- Performance – U (h– U).
- Iso-performance curves.
