Description
model of an impulse turbine
transparent operating area
adjustable nozzle cross-section
loading by band brake
Water turbines are turbomachines utilising water power. The Pelton turbine is a type of impulse turbine; such turbines convert the pressure energy of water into kinetic energy entirely in the distributor. During the conversion, the water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and directed onto the blades of the Pelton wheel tangentially. The water jet is redirected by approximately 180° in the blades. The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel.
MR-HM 150.19 is a model of a Pelton turbine demonstrating the function of an impulse turbine.
The experimental unit consists of the Pelton wheel, a needle nozzle used as distributor, a band brake for loading the turbine and a housing with a transparent front panel. The transparent cover enables to observe the water flow, the Pelton wheel and the nozzle during operation. The nozzle cross-section and thus the flow rate are modified by adjusting the nozzle needle.

The turbine torque is determined by force measurement on a band brake and is read on spring balances. For measuring the rotational speed, a noncontact speed sensor, e.g. MR-HM 082, is required. A manometer shows the water pressure at the turbine inlet.
The experimental unit is positioned easily and securely on the work surface of the MR-HM 150 base module. The water is supplied and the flow rate measured by MR-HM 150. Alternatively, the experimental unit can be operated by the laboratory supply.
