MODEL: MB-246
DESCRIPTION:-
The experimental unit consist of an impeller. A needle nozzle used as control device, a band brake for loading the turbine and a housing with the transparent front panel. The transparent cover enables to observe the water flow, the impeller and the nozzle during operation. The nozzle cross section and thus the flow are modified by adjusting the nozzle needle.
EXPERIMENTS:-
Ø Principle of operation of a Pelton Wheel turbine
Ø Characteristic at constant head
Ø Relationship between torque and speed
Ø Efficiency dependent on speed
Ø To study the operation of a Pelton Wheel Turbine
Ø To determine the Output Power of Pelton Wheel Turbine
Ø To determine the Turbine Efficiency
SPECIFICATION:-
Ø Functioning and operating behavior of a pelton turbine
Ø Transparent housing for observing the pelton wheel and needle nozzle
Ø Different nozzle cross-sections via adjustable nozzle needle
Ø Constant pressure of the turbine represents in practice the head and is adjusted via base unit for turbines
Ø Turbine load using the wear-free and adjustable eddy current brake
Ø Force sensor to determine the torque on turbine shaft
Ø Optical speed sensor for measuring the turbine speed
