The turbine twin nozzles with flow control valves direct water jets to the runner radial blades. Mini Axial Flow Impulse Turbine Demonstration Unit is a mini axial flow impulse turbine for studying the turbine characteristics with data analysis by computer. The unit is to be used with Mini turbine service unit, and a computer. The unit consists of the mini axial flow impulse turbine with a dynamometer, output power sensors and software. Both are separately supplied.
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.
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.
