Pelton Turbine Experiment Set

Pelton turbine is one of the important impulse type turbines. In Pelton turbine  the pressure energy is converted to the kinetic energy. The set contains a wheel and blades. The water flows in the system from a needle nozzle toward the wheel and turns the wheel. So kinetic energy is produced. On this experiment set the amperage and voltage of the output electrical current, the
rotational speed, the flow and pressures are measured and read.

The students can make with this experiment set:

• Design and function of a Pelton turbine,
• Determination of torque,
• Power and efficiency and graphical representation of characteristic
• Curves for torque,
• Power and efficiency experiments.
