Experiments with an Action Turbine
Technical Description of Experiments with an Action Turbine
Action
turbines operate according to the principle of equal pressure. The
static pressures at the inlet and at the outlet of the impeller are
equal. The experimental unit is placed upon the base unit. The two units
together provide the basic experiments to get to know the operating
behaviour and the most important characteristic variables of action
turbines. The water jets are discharged with high velocity from four
nozzles of the distributor. The water jets are deflected in the turbine
impeller and put it in motion. The axially discharged water from the
turbine impeller can be observed. The number of active nozzles can be
adjusted by valves. The eddy current brake generates a defined load. The
eddy current brake is specially developed by.The torque delivered by
the turbine is determined via an electronic force sensor. The speed is
measured with an optical speed sensor.
Specification of Experiments with an Action Turbine
- Turbine to place upon the base unit
- Functioning and operating behaviour of an action turbine
- Transparent housing for observing the turbine impeller
- Distributor with 4 nozzles, active nozzles adjustable by valves
- Constant pressure of the turbine represents in practice the height difference 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
