P6240 Pelton Wheel




#Pelton Wheel P6240 is a model which reproduces all the characteristics of full size machines and allows an experimental programme to determine both the performance of the #turbine and to verify design theory.

The design of the Pelton Wheel follows typical industrial practice with a horizontal shaft, single horizontal jets produced by a single nozzle fitted with a needle or spear regulator, and a wheel fitted with multiple (16) elliptical ridged buckets at a mean diameter of 100 mm.

- Torque and power characteristics plotted against rotor speed may be established.
- Efficiency against rotor speed can be determined.


Español #TurbinaPelton P6240 es un modelo que reproduce todas las características de las máquinas de tamaño completo donde se permite realizar experimentos y ejercicios para determinar el rendimiento de la #turbina o verificar las teorías de diseño entre otros.

El diseño de la #RuedaPelton sigue los modelos industriales típicos; con un eje horizontal, chorros horizontales individuales equipados por valvulas reguladoras. La Turbina Pelton es una rueda equipada con 16 palas elípticas con un diámetro medio de 100 mm.


- Estudios de Empuje, Par de potencia y velocidad del rotor.
- Determinación de la Eficiencia frente a la velocidad del rotor.
