Introduction :- Engines & Turbines are widely used as Prime Movers.
The Pelton Wheel Turbine using kinetic energy of water is used widely where high head & ample water is available. SPECIFICATION a) Sump Tank :- 1200 600 600
Specific Speed :- Approx. 19 rpm.
Net Head :- 45m Approx.
Discharge :- Approx. 820 LPH.
Normal Speed :- 750rpm.
Power :- 3.75kw ( 5HP )
Runner Diameter :- 250 mm.
Number Of Buckets :- 18
Brake Drum Diameter :- 450mm. b) Centrifugal Pump set suitable for supply of water of size
3?x 2. ?? size 820
lpm at 48 M coupled to 15 HP induction motor 3 phase
400/400 V.A.C. supply. c) Flowing Measuring Unit : a 65 mm ventury meter of Gunmetel
with two
pressure gauges on a Panel board to measure the differences
of pressure. d) Starterv switch, piping, foot valve, gate valve. EXPERIMENTATION 1) Demonstrating the operating characteristics i.e. power efficiency and torque of a Pelton Wheel at various speeds. 2) Determining the performance characteristics and effect of discharge and velocity of impinging water on Turbine operation. |
