LOW HEAD HYDRAULIC TURBINE TEST RIG
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This test facility was design and developed jointly with The Joint
Graduate School of Energy and Environment (five institutions). It is
intended to simulate large hydro power plant discharge for end user in
designing small low head turbines.
The test rig provides water flow as well as measuring
instruments. Flow is generated by a centrifugal pump. A head tank in
front of the test section is provided to simulate a static head and
another tank is provided after the test section. Flow rate and head can
be varied by an inverter. A flow control valve at the pump discharge and
a flow control valve of the return line between pump discharge and pump
suction are provided. A dynamometer at the test section measures the
designed turbine output.
The equipment is supplied unassembled and to be erected and commissioned at site
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
This is an ideal facility to simulate flow conditions of the actual
site. The turbine input (flow rate and head) and output (speed and
torque) can be accurately monitored. Thus the most efficient prototype
turbine can be designed, developed and tested.
