Types of Impulse Turbines

time2011/10/09

Impulse turbines are one of the major types of pelton type turbine, along with reaction turbines. Impulse turbines operate based on the concept of velocity, namely by changing the direction of a jet of either fluid or gas. This impulse in turn rotates the turbine and creates energy. Within this major type, several sub-types of impulse turbines exist, each going about this same task in a slightly different way.
Pelton Turbine
Pelton turbine design and the perimeter around the runner-up, connected to a central hub in the cup-shaped components. Pelton turbine may include different generations the same cup and round instruments, in which each iteration to create a higher level of energy efficiency.
Turgo turbine
Turgo turbine Pelton turbine changes. However, rather than the whole cup, Turgo pelton type turbine is only around half of the cup runner-up. Turgo turbines can be installed on horizontal and vertical, and Pelton turbines can only be installed vertically.
Cross-flow turbine
Cross-flow water turbine design with a number of trough-shaped leaves in a cylindrical runner-up, arranged radially around. Their intake, as well as the end of the blade to ensure the flow as smoothly as possible cone. A control mechanism to regulate the flow out of the water nozzle.
These turbines drum. The pelton type turbine blade through the water twice, the first blade from the outside, from inside to outside of time. Cross-flow turbines can usually handle a larger number than the Pelton turbine flow. They also sometimes referred to as Michelle Banki or Ossberger turbine.
