The unit consists of a storage tank, a pump, a turbine, a dynamometer, and measuring instruments. The adjustable guide vanes direct water to the runner. Compact Kaplan Turbine Test Set is a self contained bench top set for studying the Kaplan turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.
Experiments:
Power output vs speed for various heads and flow rates.
Torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
Efficiency vs speed for a given head and flow rate.
Racing characteristics.
