The Turgo turbine is an impulse type turbine; water does not change pressure as it moves through the turbine blades. The water’s potential energy is converted to kinetic energy with a nozzle. The high speed water jet is then directed on the turbine blades which deflect and reverse the flow. The resulting impulse spins the [...]
This cast epoxy impeller is designed to provide efficient performance on micro-hydro Pelton wheel water turbines. Power from water increases with head and increases with flow rate but is limited by pipe friction.
Maximum power for any pipe size occurs when the frictional losses in the pipe equals one third of the static head. Any increase [...]
