Cross Flow Turbine Test Set

Product Description

Cross Flow Turbine Test Set

Description of Cross Flow Turbine Test Set

Cross Flow Turbine Test Set is designed for studying the Cross Flow turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.The unit consists of a storage tank, a pump, a turbine, a dynamometer, a generator, and measuring instruments. The adjustable nozzle direct a water jet tangentially to the runner. Power output can be measured by either dynamometer or generator. The unit is on wheels.

Experiments of Cross Flow Turbine Test Set

1. Torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
2. Power output vs speed for various heads and flow rates.
3. Efficiency vs speed for a given head and flow rate.
4. Overall turbine-generator efficiency.
5. Racing characteristics.
