Multi Turbine Test Rig
Product Code : EL-TMLE-10689
Multi Turbine Test Rig (code EL-TMLE-10689) is a test unit for studying turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads, with Pelton, Francis and Cross Flow turbines connected in parallel, each with its own dynamometer. Each turbine gives a maximum of 400 W brake power, and a closed water circuit with a 2.2 kW multistage centrifugal pump, tank, inductive flow meter and flow control valve supplies them through flexible quick-release hoses.

What Is the Multi Turbine Test Rig Used For?
Comparing impulse and reaction turbines on one rig shows how each type suits a different combination of head and flow: the Pelton wheel is driven by free jets, the Francis runner works full of water under guide vane control, and the cross flow runner is crossed twice by the flow. Students connect a turbine to the pump with the quick-release hose, set the head and flow with the control valve, and load the shaft through its dynamometer while braking torque, speed, inlet pressure and flow are read. From the readings they plot torque, power output and efficiency against speed and find the racing characteristics, the runaway speed with no load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which turbines are included?
The rig has Pelton, Francis and Cross Flow turbine units, connected in parallel, each with its own dynamometer and each rated at a maximum of 400 W brake power.
How is water supplied to the turbines?
A closed water circuit with a 2.2 kW multistage centrifugal pump, tank, inductive flow meter and flow control valve feeds each turbine through a flexible hose with a quick-release coupling.
What characteristics can be plotted?
Torque and power output against speed at various heads and flow rates, efficiency against speed for a given head and flow rate, and the racing characteristics of each turbine.
What are the runners made of?
The Pelton and Cross Flow turbines have stainless steel runners, nozzles and casings, while the Francis turbine has a runner of non-corrosion metal and a casing with adjustable guide vanes.
Can the hydraulic action be seen?
Yes. Each casing has a transparent window: on the Pelton turbine it shows the hydraulic action and on the Francis turbine the position of the guide vanes.
What supply and floor space does the rig need?
It runs on 220 V, 1 Ph, 50 Hz, measures 2800 × 960 × 1500 mm and weighs 380 kg.
