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.
