Mini Kaplan Turbine Test Set

The unit consists of a storage tank on a steel base, a pump, a turbine, a dynamometer, and measuring instruments. The adjustable guide vanes direct water to the runner. Mini Kaplan Turbine Test Set is a self contained bench top set for studying the Kaplan turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads. 

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