35m Head 145kw Turgo Impulse Turbine Generator

Turgo Impulse Turbine Hydro Turbine Generators

Quick detail

The Turgo Turbine is type of impulse turbine that is similar to the Pelton turbine but can handle higher flow rates although it is slightly less efficient. The incoming water jet from the nozzle strikes the plane of the runner on one side (usually at an angle of about 25°) and exits on the other side. Since the water jet interferes less with the runner than the Pelton design, it can handle more flow than a same diameter Pelton runner, leading to reduced generator and installation costs. Since the runner of a turgo turbine is basically a Pelton runner cut in half, a turgo turbine can generate the same power as a Pelton runner with twice the diameter and thus has twice the specific speed .

Applicable Range  Head: 35-300m Flow: 0.2-4m³/s

Feature 

1. A very flat efficiency curve under varying load; efficiency remains high in low flow conditions.
2. To increase efficiency, up to 2 nozzles can be used.
3. Installation, operation, and maintenance is very easy due to its simple design.
4. Unlike the Pelton turbine, its rotational frequency is high thereby reducing generator costs. (usually a speed increaser is unnecessary)
