Pelton Wheel Turbine Test Rig

The REMPLTD Model No. REM-HM-01 Pelton Wheel Turbine Test Rig is a comprehensive hydraulic machinery system designed for investigating performance characteristics of impulse-type turbines used in high-head hydroelectric installations. This equipment features a precision-manufactured Pelton wheel runner with multiple buckets, adjustable spear valve for jet control, precision flow measurement system, and torque-speed measurement instrumentation. The rig enables experimental determination of turbine efficiency, investigation of jet velocity effects, and study of bucket design influence on performance. It facilitates comprehensive testing including measurement of hydraulic efficiency, mechanical efficiency, and power output under various head and flow conditions. The system includes pressure measurement, flow control mechanisms, dynamometer loading arrangement, and data acquisition capabilities. This educational platform provides essential understanding of impulse turbine principles, demonstrating energy conversion in high-head applications while enabling validation of theoretical performance predictions and design optimization studies.
