Dec 7, 2024 · The study of the performance of Kaplan turbine for different turbine loads has been discussed. For this experiment, ensure to install the equipment close to a 3 phase 440 volts, 50 Hz, 20 Amp. Power source. ... A Kaplan turbine is a reaction turbine that operates at low head and has between three and eight runner blades that are attached to a hub. The in ow is optimized by controlling the pitch of the runner blades and the turning of the wicket gates. The water enters the turbine in a radial direction and exit with an axial direction, see Figure (1.1 ... ... To generate substantial amount of power from small heads of water using Kaplan Turbine it is necessary to have large flow rates through the turbine. Kaplan Turbine is designed to accommodate the required large flow rates. Consequently the specific speed of these turbines is high, viz., 300 to 1000. Kaplan Turbine is an Axial Flow Reaction ... ... The experiments were carried out on a Kaplan model turbine in a cavitation tunnel at the Hydraulic ... Experience led to the conclusion that this procedure requires a ... ... and a suitable turbine type/design can be selected based on the number of factors as discussed in Section 1.2. Eventually, the extracted kinetic energy of the water will be transformed into electric energy and fed into the national grid for the use of the public (ESHA, 2004). 1.2.

The document discusses a performance test conducted on a Kaplan turbine to determine its efficiency at different vane settings and loads. The Kaplan turbine was developed as an improvement over other turbine designs to operate efficiently under low head conditions with high flow. The test measured the inlet and outlet pressures, shaft speed, and maximum torque using a prony brake at different ...
