Experiments with a Pelton Turbine

Experiments with a Pelton Turbine .

• Turbine to place upon the base unit
• Functioning and operating behaviour of a Pelton turbine
• Transparent housing for observing the Pelton wheel and needle nozzle
• Different nozzle cross-sections via adjustable nozzle needle
• Constant pressure of the turbine represents in practice the head and is adjusted via
• Turbine load using the wear-free and adjustable eddy current brake
• Force sensor to determine the torque on turbine shaft
• Optical speed sensor for measuring the turbine speed
