Pelton Turbine Test Set

Pelton Turbine Test Set is designed for studying the Pelton turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads. The adjustable nozzle direct a water jet to the runner buckets. 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.
Torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
Racing characteristics.
Overall turbine generator efficiency.
