Cross Flow Turbine Test Set

Cross Flow Turbine Test Set is designed for studying the Cross Flow turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads. The adjustable nozzle direct a water jet tangentially to the runner. Power output can be measured by either dynamometer or generator. The unit is on wheels. The unit consists of a storage tank, a pump, a turbine, a dynamometer, a generator, and measuring instruments. 

Experiments:
Power output vs speed for various heads and flow rates.
Efficiency vs speed for a given head and flow rate.
Racing characteristics.
Torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
Overall turbine-generator efficiency.
