Impulse Turbine Demonstration Unit

The consists of an inlet manifold that supplies water to four jets, which are equally spaced around the turbine runner. The unit incorporates a pressure sensor to measure the inlet condition of the water. This pressure can be accurately controlled using the software supplied with the service unit. The runner itself is mounted on a horizontal shaft with a clear acrylic splash guard to enable maximum visibility of the workings. Each of the jets can be individually controlled using ball valves.

Horizontal shaft and transparent guarding enable excellent visibility.
Mounts on a dedicated service unit.
Connects to a PC via the service unit and a USB interface device.
Small-scale hydro power unit designed to demonstrate the operating principles of an impulse turbine.
