Classification and Selection of Hydraulic Turbines

2021-11-09

1. Axial flow type/metal pressed axial flow type-widely used in low-head and large-flow rivers; 

2. Francis-Francis turbine has a compact structure, high efficiency, and can adapt to a wide range of the head range, is one of the water turbine models widely used in countries all over the world.

3. Tubular type-the structure is similar to the axial flow type; 

4. Inclined type-suitable for small power stations with medium and high water heads and small flow. The structure is compact and there is no draft tube, which can reduce the height of the plant and reduce the opening digging depth to reduce plant construction costs; 

5. Pelton type -is used for higher water head and smaller flow, the impact type has a compact structure and no draft tube, which can reduce the height of the plant and reduce the depth of excavation to reduce the construction of the plant cost.
